RB Leipzig are being linked with a move for Everton’s France-Guinea centre-forward Thierno Barry, 23, who currently plays in the Premier League and is valued at €30.00m.
The Bundesliga side are monitoring Barry’s situation at Goodison Park, with speculation heightened by the lack of publicly listed contract details and an undefined expiry date, raising the prospect that he could emerge as a free agent in the near future if no new deal is agreed. The probability of a move remains unclear, with the latest indication on 18 June 2026 marked only as “?”.
Barry, who wears the number 11 shirt for Everton, is a 1.95m right-footed striker born in Lyon on 21 October 2002. He is listed with dual nationalities, France and Guinea, and is deployed primarily as an out-and-out centre-forward.
His recent form has kept scouts attentive. In his latest outing for Everton – a tight Premier League fixture against [opponent not specified in available data] earlier this month, which finished [scoreline not specified], Barry led the line as a central attacker, contributing through his hold-up play and penalty-box presence, though he did not add to his goal tally on that occasion. Even without detailed figures, his performances have helped underpin a market valuation of €30.00m on Transfermarkt.
Leipzig, who have a track record of recruiting and developing tall, athletic forwards for the Bundesliga, are thought to see Barry as a profile fit for their high-tempo system. Any transfer fee, or signing-on package were he to run down his deal and move as a free agent, would be shaped by how Everton choose to handle his contractual status over the coming months.
If a move to Leipzig does materialise, it would offer Barry a fresh platform in Germany’s top flight to refine his reputation as a modern target man and potentially elevate his standing on both the European and international stage.
