RB Leipzig interested in Club Brugge full-back Maxim De Cuyper
De Cuyper has attracted interest from both Italy and Germany. AC Milan sees the 24-year-old as a potential successor to Theo Hernandez if the Frenchman decides to leave in the summer.
Leipzig are said to have De Cuyper top of their list when it comes to left-backs as they lack depth in the position behind David Raum, as shown by his recent injury this season. The left-back's contract in Brugge expires in 2028 and will cost around €20m.
Currently, Leipzig has two Club Brugge alumni in their squad. Loïs Openda and Antonio Nusa have both played for the club and have then gone on to have a successful period at the Red Bull Arena. However, both have struggled this season, as have Leipzig on the pitch.

Report – No Contact Between Inter Milan & RB Leipzig Over Netherlands Star
Inter Milan and RB Leipzig have not opened talks over Xavi Simons despite the Italian club's alleged interest in the Dutchman. According to L'Interista via TMW, there's been no contact between the two clubs over the 22-year-old's transfer. Xavi Simons yesterday emerged as a potential target for Inter. However, Atalanta star Ademola Lookman remains the top priority for Beppe Marotta and his associates. Therefore, the Dutch forward is only a backup option. Inter Milan & RB Leipzig Are Not in Contact over Xavi Simons LEIPZIG, GERMANY – MAY 03: Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig looks on during the Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and FC Bayern München at Red Bull Arena on May 03, 2025 in Leipzig, Germany. (Photo by) With only two years left to run on his contract at the Red Bull Arena, Simons could be available on favorable terms. Though signing a player of his quality in a cut-price deal looks tempting, Inter have other priorities. Indeed, the Nerazzurri will focus completely on signing Lookman. After sorting out Hakan Calhanoglu's future, Marotta can return to work on the Nigerian's arrival. Despite agreeing on personal terms with the 27-year-old, Inter must still find an agreement with Atalanta. La Dea have slapped a €50 million price tag on Lookman, while Inter won't offer more than €40m.
