Shortly after confirming those two loan deals, RB Leipzig confirmed the surprise arrival of another player. French youth international Tidiam Gomis who has joined the Saxony club six months earlier than planned. Xavi Simons put pen to paper on a contract at RB Leipzig until 2027 with Leipzig set to pay a fee to Paris Saint-Germain of €50m plus bonuses; the bonuses in the deal could take the fee to over €80m. We managed to offload the transfer flop Eljif Elmas to Torino with a loan deal with an €18m purchase option as part of the deal which such a sum naturally doesn't offset the reported €24m RB Leipzig paid to acquire there North Macedonian international approximately one year ago but it's better than nothing.Justin recaps the 0-0 draw against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga where RB Leipzig got outplayed by a team sitting in 14th position in the topspiel time slot on the Saturday a game unworthy of the topspiel, we preview our upcoming Bundesliga fixture against FC St. Pauli with player watch, who's fit to play, who isn't and match-day predictions rounding out the show with the shows marquee RBL talk segment.
