Leipzig looks again and sends Bitshiabu to Turkey

RB Leipzig pushed hard to find a buyer for El Chadaille Bitshiabu before the transfer deadline, but the planned sale didn’t get over the line. As kicker reports, the Frenchman will instead leave the club via a loan.

Bitshiabu heads for the Bosphorus

With the transfer route failing, Bitshiabu moves to Turkey under the agreement that clears his path out of Saxony.

For Leipzig, it’s a practical way to tweak the squad at the end of the window: they reduce the burden on the roster while keeping control of the player through the loan structure.

The next key point is how he adapts once the move is in place and what it could mean for his longer-term future. For now, the headline is the pivot from “sell” to “loan,” with Turkey as the destination, according to kicker.
