RB Leipzig Rules Out Winter Exits for Schlager and Gulacsi, Sets January Clarity Deadline

Talks will weigh sporting roles alongside financial terms.

Overview

  • Sporting director Marcel Schäfer said he is very sure neither Xaver Schlager nor Peter Gulacsi will move in the winter window during the club’s training camp in Portugal.
  • Both players’ contracts expire in the summer, and Leipzig wants clarity on Schlager’s future in January with only a brief slip into early February possible.
  • Schäfer characterized the talks as multi‑round negotiations involving agents rather than a single meeting.
  • Media have linked Juventus to Schlager, but the club does not expect a January transfer.
  • For Gulacsi, Leipzig will focus on the role he envisions, with age not decisive even as the club acknowledges an eventual goalkeeping transition.
