RB Leipzig agree to sign a Chelsea Spanish striker

RB Leipzig are closing in on a deal for a Spanish forward from Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano. The journalist says the agreement was reached after discreet talks, with “zero links”, meaning there was little or no public noise around the negotiations.

Deal done, medicals next

As Romano reports, the move is permanent and includes a sell-on clause. The player is expected to travel in the coming hours for medical checks.

Leipzig strengthen up front

Romano also frames it as something completed on both sides: “player and club”, with the Chelsea side fully aligned on the terms. With the talks already agreed, the remaining step before it becomes official is the standard medical process.

The shared snippet doesn’t include the fee or contract length, but it does confirm the key points: a permanent transfer, a sell-on clause, and medical tests within hours.
