Sky Germany understands that advanced talks between RB Leipzig and Rocco Reitz are now underway regarding a summer move.

Meetings have already taken place with Borussia Mönchengladbach who are fully informed and clubs are in contact.

However, Leipzig fully intend to lower the midfielder's release clause which is currently set at €25-28million.

Nonetheless, Reitz remains the Saxony-based club's dream target, which was already revealed by Sky Germany in January.

Should Reitz opt to sign for Leipzig, it is expected he will be offered a substantial long-term contract lasting until 2031.
