RB Leipzig hoping for up to £75m for Arsenal target

RB Leipzig hoping for up to £75m for Arsenal target RB Leipzig remain reluctant to sell Antonio Nusa in the January transfer window, amid new links with a move to Arsenal.

RB Leipzig would only sell for an ‘astronomical’ amount. Hinze adds that things could become interesting after the January window, as a sale in the summer of 2027 is more realistic. Nusa’s price tag at that stage will depend on how the rest of the season goes, but Leipzig are hoping for a fee in the region of €70m to €90m (£58.5-75.2m).

Simon Collings had previously reported in early November that Arsenal were tracking Nusa, though he was also clear that a deal in the winter window will be hard to pull off. Leipzig don’t want to lose Nusa mid-season, and they’re under no financial pressure to sell, following Yan Diomande’s big-money move to Real Madrid .

The vast majority of those goals and assists have come in German domestic football, but he did get off the mark in the Champions League with a goal against Manchester City last Wednesday. Arsenal have been keeping an eye on Nusa for quite a while now, with reports initially emerging in 2023 , when the player was still with Club Brugge. It looks like a move might now be possible in 2027, but it may have to wait for the summer. Photo by Alex Slitz/Getty Images
