RB Leipzig signed Hader from Portugal Sports on Monday night, and German media Bild revealed that the deal was finally completed seven seconds before the transfer window was closed.

reported that as a replacement for Oponda's transfer to Juventus, Leipzig signed Hader from Portugal Sports for a fixed transfer fee of 24 million euros, but negotiations on the transfer deal were delayed until the eve of the transfer window closing on Monday night.

According to Biography, Hader's transfer was not finalized until the transfer window was closed at 8 p.m. 7 seconds before the transfer window closed. The reason is: in a transfer, it is not enough to sign a contract, but it also needs to be registered in an official transfer list (FIFA Transfer Matching System/TMS). Only in this way can the transaction be considered complete.

For the senior executives of Leipzig, Hader's transfer has become a real spiritual battle: because before that, the club had already allowed Opunta to transfer to Juventus. In the worst case, it might be the striker who left but his replacement failed to join.

But now, all parties are happy. Hader was previously very popular: Rennes, AC Milan and Stuttgart were also interested in him. Leipzig Sports Director Schroder said of him: "With Hader, we have a striker who fully meets our requirements. He is tall, strong in body and spirit, has strong ability to fight, and is fast, and has a very threatening left foot."

The Danish international will take over Openda's previous No. 11 jersey, who joined Juventus by renting first and then buying, with a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros. Although he has contributed a lot during his time in his playoffs (93 games/41 goals), he is becoming increasingly a problematic figure in Leipzig, which may also be related to the same departure from the team, Xavi Simmons.

During the summer preparation period, the two seemed to be intimate, but in the sprint stage last season, they were often completely opposite. According to Biography, in the mid-May game against Bremen, there was a serious conflict between the two, allegedly because they did not pass the ball between them. Leipzig ruined the Champions League qualification in this game.
