RB Leipzig complete the signing of Romulo from Göztepe

RB Leipzig have announced that they have completed the signing of Brazilian striker Romulo from Turkish side Göztepe. The 23-year-old joins Leipzig for a reported fee of €25m and signs a contract at the club until 2030. Romulo will wear the number 40 next season. On joining Leipzig, Romulo said: 'The move to RB Leipzig is a big step in my career. The Bundesliga is one of the strongest and most exciting leagues in the world, and I want to prove myself here at the highest level. I know that Leipzig plays with high intensity, pace, and pressing – that's exactly what I'm good at. I want to score goals, provide assists, and do everything I can to help us achieve our goals as a team. At the same time, I'm looking forward to getting to know the city and the fans and becoming part of the RBL family.' Last season, the 23-year-old had a productive year with Göztepe. In a year they finished eighth in the league, Romulo scored a total of 17 goals and 10 assists in 33 games for the Izmir-based side. Romulo will replace Benjamin Seško, who left Leipzig earlier this month for Manchester United in a deal worth €85m. Whether the Brazilian will play alongside Xavi Simons is yet to be seen, but with the arrival of Romulo, Leipzig have become a far more interesting side this season. GGFN | Jack Meenan

Leipzig signs Brazilian striker Rômulo for reported $29 million as Benjamin Sesko replacement

LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) — Leipzig is spending a big chunk of the fee from Benjamin Sesko's move to Manchester United on his Brazilian replacement Rômulo. Leipzig signed the 23-year-old striker on a five-year contract Friday from Goztepe, where he scored 17 goals in the Turkish league and cup last season. Germany's Kicker magazine reported Leipzig is paying a total of up to 25 million euros ($29.2 million), with 20 million euros of that sum as a transfer fee and the rest in potential add-ons. At 1.93 meters (6 feet, 4 inches) tall, Rômulo is only slightly shorter than Sesko, who left for United last week for a fee that could reach 85 million euros ($99 million). 'Rômulo combines strong physicality with a clean technique and a sharp eye for goal," Leipzig's managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer said in a statement. "He's a versatile attacking option — he can play as a classic number nine or in more varied roles.' Leipzig starts its season at fourth-tier Sandhausen in the German Cup on Saturday before facing Bayern Munich in the opening game of the Bundesliga season Aug. 22. ___ AP soccer:
