Published: April 25, 2023According to a report from Sky Deutschland journalist Philipp Hinze , RB Leipzig won't be pursuing a deal for Arsenal-owned striker Folarin Balogun if Arsenal don't reduce the transfer fee of the striker.
Leipzig are preparing for the departure of French forward Christopher Nkunku, who will be leaving for Chelsea in the summer and have identified Balogun as his replacement.
The England U21 international is on loan at French Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims and has proven his efficiency in front of goal,bagging 18 league goals in the French top-flight this season, four goals adrift of leading top scorer Kylian Mbappe.
