Jonathan Norbye, an 18-year-old Norwegian, formerly captained the U19 team at Leipzig and has made a single appearance for their senior team. He has recently signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2028. Leipzig intends to loan him out to facilitate his development. Westerlo has shown interest in acquiring him on loan, as they aim to bolster their defense following Luka Vuskovic's move to Tottenham. The club is considering Norbye as a potential replacement, although they are facing competition from other Belgian clubs, as well as teams from the Netherlands, the English Championship, and the German 2. Bundesliga, including Fortuna Düsseldorf.
