RB Leipzig has activated the transfer of 19-year-old winger Cologne Said El-Mali. The club plans to pay 50 million euros in guaranteed payments for the player and up to 10 million in the form of bonuses.

Leipzig is considering El-Mala as a potential replacement for Jan Diomande, who has continued his career in Real Madrid. The young striker himself, for information from Bild, is ready to move to RB Leipzig.

Last year, Borussia Dortmund came out of the fight for the gravel. Previously, it was also reported that Brentford was recently trying to settle a transfer.

In the 2025/26 season, El-Mal played 34 matches in the German Championship, scoring 13 goals and providing 4 assists.
