An agreement is close to being reached between Feyenoord and Leipzig for the transfer of Lutsharel Geertruida. The 23-year-old defender will replace Josko Gvardiol, who has left for Manchester City.

RB Leipzig have no intention of hanging around just a few days before the start of the German championship. The loss of Josko Gvardiol in defence must be remedied quickly, and an agreement is already close to being reached.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the final details are being worked out between Leipzig and Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam regarding the arrival of Lutsharel Geertruida.

The 23-year-old defender has played more than 150 games for Feyenoord and even has three caps for the Oranje. For the first time in his career, he will be leaving the Netherlands just a few months after winning his first Eredivisie title.

The German club continue with their policy of signing young talents following the arrivals of Lois Openda (23), El Chadaille Bitshiabu (18) and Xavi Simons (20).
