Marcel Sabitzer is among the most highly-rated midfielders in the Bundesliga, with the Leipzig captain operating dynamically in midfield across a variety of positions. Last season, he was deployed on the right-wing and as a number 10 and this season he has been used as a central midfielder.Â
All that said, the player is reluctant to sign a contract beyond June 2022, and Leipzig could be willing to listen to offers for him this summer. The 27-year-old has been a part of Leipzig for the last 7 years and was a key figure in their promotion to the German top flight in 2016.
His situation with the club is now attracting interest from Premier League clubs Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United with all three willing to enter a race for the Austrian international according to a report by BILD. Leipzig are rumoured to be holding out for a sum worth £36 million for their captain.
All three clubs will be in need of a recognised attacking threat this summer due to their respective situations. Liverpool need someone to supplement their front three, much like Spurs. Manchester United on the other hand, need someone to replace Paul Pogba who is still in talks to leave the club at the end of the season.
Sabitzer has scored 8 goals and provided 10 assists across all competitions, and has been linked with a move to Tottenham in the past. The London club will have to compete with two of the biggest names in the league to sign the player they want.
