RB Leipzig considers KV Mechelen's 17-year-old Moroccan and Belgian left-back, Moncef Zekri, a priority for the summer 2026 transfer window, but the German club faces competition. Bayer Leverkusen is also interested, while Inter Milan is reported to be among the clubs with the most advanced interest in the player, and both Ajax Amsterdam and PSV Eindhoven are also observing him. It is understood that Zekri would prefer a move to the Bundesliga. No official offer has yet been made, and the situation is still at the stage of observation and evaluation. A source close to the matter estimates Zekri's current value to be around 4 million euros. That same source stated KV Mechelen has set a starting price of at least 7 million euros for their player, with a potential for an additional 2 million euros in performance-related bonuses linked to factors such as playing time and European qualification. The potential entry of Premier League clubs into the negotiations could cause the price to increase further. Zekri, who has 20 caps for Morocco's U17 team, has made 16 appearances in the Jupiler Pro League this season and is under contract until June 2028.
