Romulo, 23, penned a deal that runs until 2030, with the transfer reportedly worth €25 million including bonuses. The forward impressed last season with 13 goals and nine assists in 29 league appearances.

Leipzig were in urgent need of attacking reinforcements following Šeško’s high-profile departure to United in a deal said to be worth €85 million. The Slovenian striker had been a key figure for Leipzig before his move to the Premier League.

The German club, who finished seventh in the Bundesliga last season and missed out on European qualification for the first time since their promotion to the top flight, are undergoing a significant rebuild. The summer marks the first transfer window under Jürgen Klopp’s leadership as Red Bull’s global head of football.

Alongside Romulo, Leipzig have also bolstered their squad with the signings of winger Johan Bakayoko and midfielder Arthur Vermeeren. The team will be led by new head coach Ole Werner as they prepare for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign.
