Newsypeople – RB Leipzig has officially secured the services of Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa, signing him from Club Brugge on a five-year deal.
The transfer fee is reported to be in the range of €20 million to €25.5 million. Nusa, just 19 years old, has quickly emerged as a promising talent, having scored four goals and provided four assists across 46 appearances for Brugge last season.
His impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed, drawing interest from several top clubs, including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League. Notably, a move to Brentford fell through earlier due to unforeseen complications.
Antonio Nusa originally joined Club Brugge from Stabaek in 2021 and has since solidified his reputation as one of Norway’s most exciting football prospects.

He earned his first senior cap last year and has already represented his country seven times. Despite the buzz around his potential transfer, Nusa has remained an integral player for Brugge, starting in three of their first four matches this season and even contributing an assist.
RB Leipzig, under the guidance of coach Marco Rose, has been active in the transfer market this summer. The club recently sold Dani Olmo to Barcelona for €60 million and moved Angelino to AS Roma.
As Leipzig gears up for the upcoming season, they are keen to bolster their squad, starting with a DFB Pokal clash against Essen and their Bundesliga opener against Bochum.
