Rômulo attracted interest from top clubs including Ajax, but he opted to move to RB Leipzig. The 23-year-old Brazilian forward, noted for his performance in the SüperLig where he scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in 29 matches last season, has committed to a five-year contract with Leipzig, extending until 2030. RB Leipzig completed his transfer from the Turkish club Göztepe for an initial fee of around 20 million euros, with the potential to increase by an additional 5 million euros through bonuses. Additionally, Göztepe will receive 10% of any future transfer fee. Despite interest from other European clubs such as Ajax, Roma, and Monaco, Rômulo was eager to join Leipzig, where he is viewed as an ideal partner for striker Lois Openda. Transfermarkt estimates the player's market value at €11 million.
