RB Leipzig in football fever: The big finale in the Panometer is approaching!

An exciting weekend awaits football fans in Leipzig! The national final of the Red Bull Four 2 Score will take place on Saturday at the Panometer Leipzig. Here 24 teams are fighting for a highly coveted ticket to the World Final in Salzburg. Not only is entry free, but a varied supporting program with DJs and gaming stations also provides entertainment. The anticipation for the upcoming football highlights is literally in the air!

While street football is very important in Leipzig, there is also news from the club's coaching world. RB Leipzig have announced the signing of Ole Werner as their new head coach. Werner comes from Werder Bremen and brings a breath of fresh air into the team. The move was already in the pipeline and the final agreement between RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen has now been made official. Even if small details about the transfer fee still need to be clarified, the deal is sealed.

Transfer market and player changes

Transfer activity is very busy. The focus is particularly on Benjamin Šeško, who is being courted by Arsenal London. The Slovenian center forward, who has been under contract with RB Leipzig since July 1, 2023 and will stay until June 30, 2029, is a sought-after player at 22 years old and 1.95 m tall. However, his agent emphasizes that a move to a “special club” is only possible. RB Leipzig is aiming for a transfer fee of around 80 million euros, which gives him a high market value. Quite impressive for a player who started at NK Krsko in his youth in 2010!

Another player making headlines is Ilaix Moriba, who is moving to Celta Vigo. The transfer comes about after Celta Vigo draws the option to buy the player and puts around six million euros on the table. It remains to be seen how these changes will affect the team structure at RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig in transition

Parallel to these changes, SV Sandhausen, RB Leipzig's opponents in the DFB Cup, is planning a massive upheaval. The club has parted ways with 35 players and would like to bring a breath of fresh air with 13 new additions. This shows how dynamic the transfer situation is in the second division! RB Leipzig themselves are also preparing for the first round of the DFB Cup, in which they will play against SV Sandhausen.

RB Leipzig has its coach Michael Gurski, who has published a book on goalkeeper training, on hand to help organize training and games. New approaches to goalkeeper training could give the team the decisive advantage, especially in the decisive games this season.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig also brought the Norwegian Andrea Norheim from Sporting Lisbon into the squad. Her contract runs until June 2027 and could be an interesting addition to the defense. This fits into the picture that RB Leipzig wants to prepare strongly for the challenges in the coming season.

The business figures for the 2023/24 season show impressive record sales, but there are also increasing liabilities. So it remains exciting to see how the financial aspects will influence sporting decisions.

Finally, there is some good news from RB Leipzig's U17 team. Even though they lost 3-1 to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the final, the development of talent shows that the club continues to have a promising future.

Overall, it is clear that RB Leipzig is in a dynamic process in which not only coaching changes and player transfers, but also innovative approaches to training play a role. Let's follow closely how developments will develop in the coming weeks!
