RB Leipzig will keep winger Brajan Gruda for the 2026-27 season after extending his loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, according to reports from both outlets. The extension follows a successful spell with Leipzig during the second half of the 2025-26 season. Yahoo Sports also states that an agreement is reached between the clubs that includes an obligatory purchase, indicating that the loan arrangement is tied to a future transfer decision under the contract terms.
Both sources frame the move as a continuation of Gruda’s time at Leipzig rather than a return to Brighton for the coming season. While the loan is extended for 2026-27, the reference to an obligatory purchase suggests Leipzig’s commitment to securing his long-term registration is already set out in the deal. The reports do not provide additional performance details or financial figures, focusing instead on the status of the contract and Gruda’s confirmed club destination for the next campaign.
