Both of them Rodrygo's — 8.88

Stephan Wolf steps up from the RB Leipzig academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stephan Wolf has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
