Bundesliga club RB Leipzig are willing to sanction loan moves for Nigerian wingers Ayodele Thomas and Suleman Sani ahead of the start of the 2026/2027 campaign, according to Sky Sport Germany. Thomas, who is eligible to represent Nigeria, the Netherlands and Croatia, has struggled to command regular playing time since arriving in Germany in 2026. Meanwhile, former Flying Eagles winger Sani, who joined Leipzig from AS Trenčín during the winter window, also endured a difficult campaign following his arrival in January. Sani's progress was hampered by several injury setbacks, limiting his opportunities to contribute to the Bundesliga club during the campaign. Their struggles have now created uncertainty surrounding their respective futures at the Red Bull Arena, with the club considering temporary moves to aid their development. RB Leipzig are reportedly prepared to consider proposals from teams capable of guaranteeing both youngsters regular playing time to help them develop and gain valuable experience. From the players' perspective, neither Thomas nor Sani is actively pushing for a move away from Leipzig. However, both players would reportedly consider suitable proposals if the right opportunity emerges before the end of the transfer window. Adeyemi Adewale
