RB Leipzig track FrancoAlgerian teenager Maykel Gomis from Metz U17

FranceAlgeria centreforward Maykel Gomis, 15, who currently plays for Metz U17, is being linked with a move to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig according to transfer speculation emerging in Germany and France.

The Rouenborn striker, listed as an attackminded centreforward, is contracted to Metzs under17 setup, with no formal expiry date made public, leaving open the theoretical prospect of him changing clubs without a transfer fee if his current terms lapse and he becomes a free agent. Transfermarkt lists his market value as None, underlining how early he is in his career and how hard it is to place a firm price on him at this stage.

Data compiled on 4 July 2026 shows Leipzigs interest recorded with a probability rating of ?, reflecting that talks, if any, are at a very early and uncertain stage. There is no indication yet whether the German club would pursue him for their academy system or as part of a longerterm pathway into their first team.

Gomis joined FC Metz U17 on 1 July 2025 from Rouen Sapins FCs youth ranks, having previously been on the books at FC Rouens academy. All three clubs are based in France, meaning a switch to Leipzig would represent his first move outside the country and his first experience of a major European league structure such as the Bundesliga.

The dual national, who holds both French and Algerian nationality, is listed with Metz U17 as his current national team level. No senior or professional appearances, goals or assists are recorded for him yet, and no recent competitive match details such as opponents, dates or scorelines are available in the public data.

With the rumour still at a speculative stage and no fee or contract framework reported, any Leipzig move would be about potential rather than pedigree, but if it materialises it could become a defining early step in shaping Gomiss development and reputation in European football.
