Last winter, John Tolkin was associated with RB Leipzig, with the transfer anticipated to be a multi-million dollar deal in January. Tolkin, a 22-year-old left-back from New York Red Bulls and an American international, has been outstanding in the MLS and earned recognition as an MLS All-Star. His dynamic playing style, along with his defensive and offensive capabilities, has drawn attention from several European clubs, notably RB Leipzig. Despite interest from Anderlecht, Nottingham Forest, and RB Salzburg, a transfer to RB Leipzig remains a strong possibility. The deal, expected to be finalized in January, reflects the significant demand for Tolkin's skills in Europe.
