Due to the relegation with Schalke 04, Tom Krauß is officially a player of RB Leipzig once more from July 1st. However, it is an open secret that the future of the 21-year-old does not lie in the trade fair city. A change within the Bundesliga is now in the offing: to 1. FSV Mainz 05. As the “Kicker“ reported, Krauss decided in favor of Rheinhessen.

Rumor: Tom Krauss to 1.FSV Mainz 05

According to this, negotiations regarding the transfer would be ongoing between the two clubs. There are currently 4 million euros in the room, which is more than the amount that S04 would have had to count if they stayed up. Then a purchase obligation of 3 million euros would have applied. His market value was raised to EUR 7m (+1m) in the latest Bundesliga update. Six players are rated higher in the Mainz squad for the new season.

These include Anton Stach and Leandro Barreiro, who are the most valuable professionals at €15m and €14m respectively. The “Bild” newspaper said at the end of May that Mainz would only try to get Krauss signed if one of the two left the club.

Krauss had told the “Kicker” that he needed an environment “in which I can play as much as possible and be encouraged accordingly”. The competition in Leipzig is “enormous”, which is why it “makes the most sense” for both sides if he leaves the club for good. The homegrown player, who played a game for the RB professionals, still has a contract until 2025.

In the past season, Krauss made 33 appearances across all competitions, in which he contributed two goals. He also took part with the German national team in the U21 European Championships, which ended in the first round. In the TM rumor mill he is also traded at Borussia Mönchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt.
