Talbi Weighs Options as Leipzig Step Up Pursuit

The Atlas Lion faces a pivotal summer ahead of a move to one of Europe’s top leagues, which could mark the next step in his development

Morocco international Chemsdine Talbi is attracting renewed interest from RB Leipzig, with the Club Brugge winger emerging as a key target ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 20-year-old, who chose to represent Morocco over his native Belgium, has enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Belgian side, making 44 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.

His performances have sparked interest from clubs across Europe and the Middle East.

While earlier reports claimed Brugge were seeking €20m for Talbi, a spokesperson for his agency, YOU FIRST, has rejected that valuation, calling it inaccurate. But demand for the right winger remains strong, with Leipzig understood to be leading the race.

The German club are undergoing a squad rebuild following a disappointing season, and Talbi is seen as part of a new wave of attacking reinforcements.

Sources close to the player suggest he is open to the move.

Talbi, who was called up to Morocco’s senior squad for their recent international camp last March, missed out on playing time due to injury but remains in the plans of national team coach Walid Regragui.

He is under contract with Club Brugge until June 2027, putting the Belgian side in a strong position during negotiations.
