The future of Conrad Harder may ultimately lie in Germany. Leipzig intends to secure the signing of the Dane before the transfer window closes and has submitted an offer of around 23 million euros plus 4 million based on objectives.
The German side now appears to be the most likely destination for the Sporting forward. The Bundesliga club, which had already made contact with the player’s agent, moved forward with negotiations after learning of the French team’s difficulties in finalizing the transfer.
According to international media, the player’s agent’s new demands may have been the last straw for Rennes, who had already previously expressed frustration with the difficulties in negotiations. The transfer to the French club is now in serious jeopardy.
It should be noted that Milan has also dropped out of the race for Sporting’s striker, after growing tired of waiting for the transfer to be completed. On the other hand, Fotis Ioannidis will be a new addition to the attack and will arrive in Lisbon this Saturday to be officially presented.
This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Conrad Harder - valued at 24 million euros - has played in four matches: one as a starter and three as a substitute. In the 103 minutes he has played, the Club of Alvalade’s ‘number 9’ has already scored a goal.
