RB Leipzig have officially confirmed the signing of highly rated Flying Eagles winger Suleiman Sani, completing a move from Slovak top-flight side AS Trenčín, Bold Sports reports.

The Bundesliga club announced the deal on Tuesday evening via their official website, revealing that the 19-year-old has penned a long-term contract running until 30 June 2031 and will wear the number 18 shirt, becoming the latest addition to Leipzig’s growing collection of young attacking talents.

Speaking on the signing, RB Leipzig’s Managing Director for Sport, Marcel Schäfer, praised the club’s latest recruit:

“We’ve signed a highly talented young winger in Suleiman Sani. He has an exciting profile and all the attributes needed to take the next steps in his development at RB Leipzig. Suleiman mainly operates on the left, has plenty of pace, is difficult to knock off the ball thanks to his physicality and likes to run in behind. He also works hard without the ball and shows the right attitude,” Schäfer said.

“Bringing Suleiman in now is a move made with the summer in mind, as the opportunity arose to secure him on a permanent deal. He gives us greater depth and flexibility out wide. We’ll give him the time he needs to settle into the Bundesliga and are very much looking forward to the journey ahead together,” he added.

Suleiman, who featured for the Flying Eagles in the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, described the move as a major milestone in his young career: “Moving to RB Leipzig is a big step for me and something I’m extremely proud of. I’m especially impressed by the way the club develops young players, puts trust in them and supports them in a targeted way.”

With Leipzig renowned for nurturing young talents into elite performers, Suleiman Sani will now look to continue his upward trajectory as he prepares for the next chapter of his career in the Bundesliga.
