Baku joins Leipzig

Ridle Baku leaves the Wolves with immediate effect.

After a little over four years, Ridlu Baku and VfL Wolfsburg are going their separate ways, with the 26-year-old wideman joining the Wolves’ Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig with immediate effect. Four-time Germany international Baku joined VfL from 1. FSV Mainz 05 in October 2020, going on to make 166 competitive appearances for the Green-and-Whites.

“All the best for the future”

“We thank Ridle for his commitment in nearly four and a half years with VfL Wolfsburg,” said sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz. “We wish him all the best for the future, both professionally and privately.”
