Key Moves in the Bundesliga
RB Leipzig’s Strategic Acquisitions
RB Leipzig secured Brajan Gruda on loan from Brighton, assigning him the number 10 shirt in the absence of Assan Ouedraogo, who is sidelined long-term. Additionally, they signed 18-year-old Ayodele Thomas from PSV for a fee of €400,000. Both players, representing Germany U21 and Netherlands U19 teams, are expected to bring speed and creativity to the squad.
Wolfsburg Strengthens Defense
Wolfsburg completed the loan signing of Jeanuel Belocian from Bayer Leverkusen. The 20-year-old defender, returning from a cruciate ligament injury, provides options at both left-back and center-back. Furthermore, they purchased Ghanaian center-back Jonas Adjetey from Basel for €9.5 million, aiming to enhance their defensive lineup.
Bayern Munich’s Loan Moves
Bayern Munich loaned Bryan Zaragoza to Roma following his successful stint at Celta Vigo earlier in the season, with a performance-based buy obligation included in the deal. The club also saw teenage midfielder Felipe Chavez join Köln on loan, which includes an option to buy and a buyback clause after his initial senior appearances, having made his debut for Peru at just 18 years old.
Borussia Mönchengladbach’s New Addition
Borussia Mönchengladbach welcomed Swedish winger Hugo Bolin on loan. Bolin has already earned two caps with the senior national team. In a separate move, left-back Luca Netz transferred to Nottingham Forest for €2.5 million, departing after making limited starts behind teammate Lukas Ullrich with only six months remaining on his contract.
