Conrad Harder to RB Leipzig is a done deal subject to medical tests, as Fabrizio Romano reports.
The striker will join Die Roten Bullen from Sporting Lisbon in a deal worth €26m. It’s a statement acquisition for Ole Werner’s side, who have reportedly beaten competition from English giants Chelsea and Italian outfit AC Milan for the Danish international’s signature.
Harder (20) recorded a very respectable 11 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions for Sporting last season, which is more impressive when considering he was largely playing second fiddle to Viktor Gyökeres for large parts of the campaign.
The Dane joins Rômulo as the second high-profile striker arriving at the Red Bull Arena. The pair are expected to form a new-look attack for Leipzig, after Benjamin Šeško left to join Manchester United on a permanent transfer earlier in the window, and with Loïs Openda bound for Juventus on a loan deal.
