RB Leipzig is keen to retain Xaver Schlager's services and is planning to hold discussions for a contract extension with the 27-year-old midfielder. If these talks do not lead to a new contract, RB Leipzig is willing to enter the final year of his contract and risk a free transfer due to his immense value to the team and potentially low resale value.

Talks have begun to extend Xaver Schlager's contract, which currently runs until 2026. The strategy is to extend the contract instead of selling the player, aligning with RB Leipzig's new approach under Jürgen Klopp's leadership.
