It’s not the biggest, it’s far from the most attractive, but there’s no doubt that it’s one of the best deals this summer when it comes to the football market – RB Leipzig have agreed to buy one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe right now. David Raum (24) arrives in Saxony for a sum of around 30 million euros (including bonuses).The news was first published by the German Sky, however, confirmations soon arrived from all sides, including Bild, and other relevant media that deal with the transfer window in detail. The Bulls won a big victory in the race against Borussia Dortmund, who had the idea to replace Raphael Guerreiro with the new German national team player, but the case of Sebastian Haller prevented them from doing so. The Millionaires had to turn in search of a striker and Leipzig took advantage.🚨 RB Leipzig will pay an initial €26m for David Raum, with around €4m in add ons.The player will receive around €10m-a-year salary, if all of his bonuses are met.(Source: @philipphinze24) pic.twitter.com/V03B9BEnOF— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) July 29, 2022 This big deal also means the end of Angelinho’s episode at that club. Although at one point he was known as one of the most important players of the team (while the team was led by Julian Nagelsmann), in the last season saw his form go downward drastically.From the same sources, it can be learned that it is the Spaniard who will take Raum’s place in Hoffenheim. But these are two completely separate jobs i.e. their transfers won’t be a part of the same ‘trade’ deal.When we talk about numbers, they are record-breaking in every sense. Hoffe will collect 26 million euros immediately, and then another 4 million through bonuses. At that moment, when the clauses are activated, Raum will become the most expensive signing in the history of Leipzig, as he will dethrone Naby Keita, for whom Salzburg were paid 29.75 million euros six years ago.The former Greuther Furth player will do well financially. If the rumors that he will earn 6 to 7 million euros gross per season are correct, Raum will stand just behind Leipzig’s highest-paid player, Andre Silva (7.5 million euros). This would also mean that the winner of the German DFB Cup from last season has moved the limits of salary classes which were set at 4 million net for the higher paid first team players since the departure of Timo Werner.##NAJAVA_MECA_6534244##David Raum arrived at Hoffenheim exactly one year ago without compensation. He showed what kind of player he is from the very start of the season, which he finished with three goals on his account and as many as 13 assists. In the meantime, he became a member of the national team under Hansi Flick, and we should expect him in Qatar as well. Very likely as the first option on the left flank.There is no doubt that this is a great move by Leipzig…
