🫣 7-second drama? Bundesliga club seal top deal at the last minute

This Deadline Day had a lot to offer; just before the transfer window closed, the clubs splashed out quite a bit of cash. One club apparently had to sweat it out until the very last minutes. 

According to 'Bild', the transfer of Leipzig’s new striker signing Harder was only finalized seven (!) seconds before the transfer window closed at 8 p.m.

If the deal had fallen through, the Saxons would have had no replacement for Loïs Openda. After all, RB had already approved his transfer to Juventus Turin. 

In the end, the deal went through and the Dane will now wear the Leipzig jersey. According to Bild’s information, Rennes, Milan, and VfB Stuttgart were also interested. Now he has signed a contract with the Saxons until 2030.
