The transition of 23-year-old Brazilian striker Romulo from Turkish Gestepe to the Lipzig RB is approaching the final stage. According to Gazetefutbol, the clubs have reached a fundamental arrangement, and it remains only to draw up the necessary formalities.

The German team views Romalo as a replacement of Benjamin Sheshko, who recently moved to Manchester United for 85 million euros. It is expected that an agreement with the Turkish club will cost Leipzig more than 20 million euros, which will be the largest sale in the history of Gestepe.

The seriousness of the transfer is evidenced by the fact that the forward was not included in the application for the starting match of the Turkish Championship against the Rzespra, and he also missed all the pre -season duels to avoid injuries against the background of intense negotiations.

Romulo went to Gestepe from Athletico Paranourese in the 2023/24 season, and the official ransom of the player took place in January 2025 for 2.5 million euros. Since then, the attacker has become one of the team leaders, marking 22 goals and 13 goals in 46 matches, which attracted the attention of many European clubs.

Given the need for Leipzig to increase the attack and the readiness of the Turkish club to sell its scorer, the transfer can be completed in the near future.
