Leipzig set astronomical price as Arsenal eye Nusa

RB Leipzig, a German Bundesliga club, are reluctant to sell 21‑year‑old Antonio Nusa in the January transfer window this season, despite Arsenal interest, as they have no immediate financial pressure, and are hoping for a fee of up to £75 million (approximately €70‑90 million).

Leipzig's pricing and stance

Philipp Hinze of Sky Sport Germany Nusa’s contract contains no release clause, making a January move very unlikely.

The club has said it would only consider a sale for an ‘astronomical’ amount.

Hinze adds that a transfer after the window, realistically in the summer of 2027, is more plausible.

Miguel Delaney of the Independent the winger is on Arsenal’s shortlist.

Simon Collings reported in early November that Arsenal were tracking Nusa, but warned a winter deal would be hard to achieve.

Leipzig do not want to lose Nusa mid‑season and are under no financial pressure following Yan Diomande’s big‑money move to Real Madrid.

The 21‑year‑old has recorded 14 direct goal contributions in 15 appearances this season.

Most of those came in German domestic football, though he also scored in the Champions League against Manchester City last Wednesday.

Arsenal’s pursuit may have to wait until the summer of 2027, when a deal could finally materialise.
