After the purchases, the sales. El Chadaille Bitshiabu will sign a long-term contract with RB Leipzig, a Bundesliga club, if he meets the traditional medical examination. The transaction is for an amount slightly over 15 million euros. It could climb to 20 million euros with bonuses. There are still details to be settled. The young defender, 18, had only one year left on his contract at PSG and he visited the facilities of the 3rd of the last Bundesliga exercise at the end of June behind Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

In the French capital, his future was blocked with the presence of Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe and the signings during this summer transfer window of Milan Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez. The Parisian defensive sector is very provided if we also add Nordi Mukiele and Danilo Pereira who can evolve in the axis. Appeared 16 times in all competitions last season, the young defender had opportunities to show himself under the orders of Christophe Galtier, the former Parisian coach, but he had complicated matches, like the trip to Monaco ( 3-1), and a few other tough in-game entries.

He will now continue his progress in Germany, a championship which regularly relies on young people and in particular Parisians. Tanguy Kouassi, for example, left PSG in 2020 at the age of 18 to join Bayern Munich. Bitshiabu was seduced by Leipzig’s speech, which has followed him for a long time, long before he turned professional in Paris. He believes that this is the ideal setting, with playing time, to express his full potential in continuity and not only with bits of matches.
