RB Leipzig has officially completed the signing of Eljif Elmas from Napoli on a deal worth €25 million. The midfielder has penned a five-year contract with the Bundesliga club, ensuring his stay until at least the end of the 2027/2028 season.
The transfer marks a significant investment by Leipzig in the 23-year-old Macedonian international, who has made a name for himself in Serie A with Napoli. Elmas is known for his versatility in midfield, capable of playing both in attacking and defensive roles, which has made him a valuable asset on the pitch.
The move to RB Leipzig is expected to bolster the club’s midfield options as they continue to compete at the top level of German football. Elmas’s experience in Italian football, coupled with his youth and potential for further development, aligns with Leipzig’s strategy of recruiting young, talented players with room to grow.
This acquisition is a clear statement of intent from RB Leipzig as they look to build a squad capable of challenging for domestic and European honours in the coming years. Elmas’s arrival is set to add depth and quality to their midfield as they prepare for future campaigns.
