RB Leipzig: Marcel Halstenberg allegedly gambled away

Marcel Halstenberg seems to have gambled away. To kicker-Information there is no new offer from RB Leipzig, even the alleged interest of Borussia Dortmund has cooled.

The 29-year-old’s contract expires next summer. Halstenberg is said to demand a raise in salary, which was rejected by the club. The national player had according to the kicker hoped to get an improved offer. However, the Leipzigers do not want to submit such a thing to Halstenberg.

BVB had expressed interest, but the talks were “inconclusive”. Borussia would only force a transfer if Nico Schulz could be sold.

EM driver Halstenberg only played a subordinate role last season, and for reasons of performance he was pulled from the left side of the defense into the middle. With Josko Gvardiol, Mohamed Simakan, Willi Orban and Lukas Klostermann, the Bulls already have four central defenders in their squad, and Nordi Mukiele can also play in the middle.
