Eljif Elmas Transfer Analysis 2024/25: Premier League, Bundesliga Or Serie A After RB Leipzig?

It has been rumoured that Eljif Elmas has received offers from various clubs in the Bundesliga, the Premier League, and, lately, Serie A.

In fact, Elmas has been linked with Newcastle United, Lazio, and a possible return to Napoli, as it has been predicted that he would soon make his return to Italy since he used to play for Napoli from 2019 until late 2023.

Moreover, a possible move to one of the top six Bundesliga sides is possible, too, since teams like Borussia Dortmund, Mainz, and Bayer Leverkusen are interested in the services of the Macedonian international and have the possibility to allow him sufficient playing time.

Elmas is more likely to leave RB Leipzig during this transfer window.

He has only made six appearances in all competitions this season, all off the bench.

Therefore, he should not hesitate to consider the offers he receives, but he should also be very intelligent and selective about them, as it will be crucial to opt for the best possible option.

In other words, moving to a team that does not suit the player’s abilities or does not provide the space needed for him to play regularly will undoubtedly be a mistake in Elmas’ career.

With experience in teams like Rabotnički, where he started his career, Fenerbahçe, Napoli, with which he lifted the Scudetto and RB Leipzig, Elmas has the potential and the maturity needed to put on a good impression and perform well to succeed in having a more positive chapter in his career.

It should be pointed out that Elmas’ most successful and consistent period was his time at Napoli, where he got regular playing time and succeeded in making more than 30 appearances per season.

That’s why he must build on that period and aim to surpass the difficult times he experienced at Leipzig.

This requires a strong personality and the ability to adapt to change and difficulties.

In this tactical analysis and scout report, we will identify the targets that best suit Elmas’ abilities and situation, given his blurry situation at RB Leipzig.

We will identify which of the interested teams needs him the most and can offer him adequate playing time, at least for the second half of this season.

Moreover, focusing on Elmas’ potential importance within these teams’ tactics will be important.

That’s why the analysis will also contain sections that explore the player’s footballing abilities and skills as a midfielder and right-winger, focusing especially on his attacking and playmaking traits.
