RB Leipzig has successfully passed on midfielder Mustapha Haidara to Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig for an undisclosed fee.
Haidara, who joined the German club from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, was expected to be a key player for the team this season.
However, after failing to impress during his time at the club, he was eventually released by Leipzig earlier this month.
In return for Haidara's services, RB Leipzig has signed the 25-year-old from Ligue 1 side Rennes.
The move is seen as a major coup for RB Leipzig,La Liga Frontline which is looking to strengthen its midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.
Haidara, who has made over 100 appearances for Rennes, will provide much-needed depth in midfield for the team, and should help them compete for honours in the coming seasons.
Overall, the transfer looks like a smart one for both sides, with RB Leipzig gaining valuable experience and talent while Haidara gets a chance to prove himself in a new league.
