Xaver Schlager

In January 2026, reports indicated RB Leipzig would require a fee between €4-5 million for an immediate winter transfer. During the same period, his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) was cited at €6 million, while his Transfermarkt value was consistently reported as €10 million. Looking back, RB Leipzig reportedly valued him between €15-18 million in May 2025 and set a negotiation basis of €18 million in March 2025, before he entered his final contract year. His last completed transfer was from VfL Wolfsburg to RB Leipzig in July 2022 for a fee of €12 million.

Our valuation for Xaver Schlager is shaped by his confirmed departure from RB Leipzig on a free transfer in summer 2026. The range is anchored by the repeatedly reported hypothetical winter transfer fee of €4-5 million, which Leipzig would have accepted to avoid a free exit, and his widely cited Transfermarkt value of €10 million. His €12 million transfer in 2022 provides historical context, but his current expiring contract status and injury history are the dominant factors.
