Most expensive player sales from RB Leipzig

We take a look at the top 10 most expensive player sales from RB Leipzig.

• Josko Gvardiol (€90m)

Signed from Dinamo Zagreb in 2020, Josko Gvardiol came to prominence as a key figure in Croatia's run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup and Manchester City splashed a €90m fee to acquire his services in 2023.

• Dominik Szoboszlai (€70m)

A month prior to Gvardiol's departure, RB Leipzig also bid farewell to another influential individual for a mammoth fee as Liverpool triggered the release clause for Dominik Szoboszlai, who was part of a midfield revamp alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.

• Christopher Nkunku (€60m)

With Gvardiol departing in August and Szoboszlai leaving in July, Christopher Nkunku was another big name to exit the Red Bull Arena in the summer of 2023 as Chelsea fended off great interest to sign the forward in June.

• Naby Keita (€60m)

Liverpool agreed a club record deal in August 2017 to purchase Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, although the Guinea international did not officially join the Reds until July 2018.

Keita departed the club in 2023 as a free agent before moving to Werder Bremen.

• Dani Olmo (€55m)

Barcelona tied Dani Olmo down to a six-year deal when they prised him from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2024.

However, the transfer was shrouded in controversy as the player could only be registered for the first half of the 2024/25 season due to Barcelona's failure to meet La Liga's stringent wage cap restrictions.

• Timo Werner (€53m)

Timo Werner had developed into one of Europe's most coveted forwards after a prolific spell which saw him net 93 goals in 157 RB Leipzig appearances, prompting Chelsea to pay handsomely for his services in 2020.

• Dayot Upamecano (€42.5m)

Bayern Munich beat competition from several Premier League clubs to sign French international Dayot Upamecano in February 2021, with the central defender moving to Bavaria in the summer of that year.

• Ibrahima Konate (€40m)

Ibrahima Konate was another RB Leizpig player whose release clause was triggered by Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp bolstered his central defensive options with the addition of the Frenchman in 2021.

• Mohamed Simakan (€35m)

One of the latest entries on this list, central defender Mohamed Simakan swapped the Bundesliga for the Saudi Pro League as he joined Al-Nassr on a five-year deal in September 2024.

• Jean-Kevin Augustin (€21m)

Jean-Kevin Augustin's loan move to Leeds United in January 2020 included an obligation to buy if the Whites were promoted to the Premier League.

Despite winning the title, Leeds pulled out of a deal for the striker after he fell out of favour with Marcelo Bielsa, although a complaint lodged to FIFA from RB Leipzig meant that Leeds had to cough up compensation.

Augustin only made three substitute appearances for the club totalling 48 minutes.
