Juventus eye RB Leipzig midfielder on a free transfer

According to a report from Italy, Juventus are interested in signing Xaver Schlager, whose contract with RB Leipzig expires in the summer.

With just over six months left on his contract at RB Leipzig, Xaver Schlager could potentially leave the club on a free transfer next summer.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus are interested in picking up the Austrian international as a free agent once his contract expires.

Die Roten Bullen, however, would likely prefer to avoid losing Schlager on a free transfer and may look to negotiate a contract extension.

In what has generally been an injury-plagued spell at Red Bull Arena, the 28-year-old central midfielder has made 91 appearances since joining from Wolfsburg in 2022.

He is an Austrian international and has represented his country 49 times at senior level.
