RB Leipzig's Conrad Harder is reportedly headed to RC Strasbourg Alsace on a season-long loan, according to a report by Foot Mercato. The Danish forward, 21, could be joining the French club without Argentine winger Joaquin Panichelli, who is unlikely to return before the end of the year after suffering an ACL injury in March. Strasbourg is also set to miss the presence of former players Emanuel Emegha and David Datro Fofana, who departed in the summer transfer window.
The lack of depth in the forward department is evident, with Sékou Mara stepping up to start the team's opening match despite recent links to a potential exit. Jacobo Ortega, who arrived from Real Madrid's academy, played in the recent win over RC Lens. However, the arrival of Conrad Harder is expected to alleviate the club's pressing need for additional attacking threats.
Foot Mercato confirms that an agreement has been reached between RB Leipzig and Strasbourg for the loan deal, and the Danish player is set to arrive in Alsace on Sunday for a medical examination.
