Transfer Interest and Contract Situation
Ouedraogo joined Leipzig in 2024 after the club paid €10m to secure his services from Schalke. As his stature continues to grow, Leipzig have already fielded enquiries from interested clubs regarding the midfielder’s availability.
According to Sky Germany, Ouedraogo’s contract in Saxony does not feature a release clause, giving RB Leipzig full control over any potential transfer negotiations. The club is under no pressure to sell, and with his contract running until 2029, they are in a strong position to set the midfielder’s price. Reports indicate that even a sum in the region of €50-60m might be insufficient to tempt Leipzig into a sale next summer should Ouedraogo’s progress continue apace. At the current rate, he could also emerge as a contender for a more regular place in the German squad.
