Strasbourg is considering RB Leipzig's 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt as a potential successor to Mike Penders. The French club is searching for a new number one goalkeeper for the upcoming season, as it is believed likely that Chelsea will recall Penders. Vandevoordt, who has had limited playing time at Leipzig, is one of the candidates being monitored, and the club is also reportedly following other players, including Lucas Hornicek of Braga. Vandevoordt joined Leipzig in July 2024 and has not made an appearance in the Bundesliga this season. His contract with the German club runs until 2029, and his current market value according to Transfermarkt is €8.00m.
