Exclusive insight: Out in Marseilles with Mo Simakan
Homestory shows the RBL defender | Video available now
Mo Simakan has been wearing an RB Leipzig shirt since the summer of 2021. A year and a half and 68 competitive games later, and you can hardly think of the team without thinking of the 22-year-old!
Mo has quickly developed into a fan favourite since his arrival in Leipzig and has increased his attacking output in his last few months.
Having initially been called upon mostly as a centre-back, he has played more commonly as a right-back under head coach Marco Rose.
And to good effect: Mo has scored four goals and picked up a further 7 assists since his move to Leipzig. He has also broken through as a right-back for the France U21 squad.
Back to his roots
These strong numbers were followed in December of last year by a new contract, with the defender extending ahead of time until 2027.
We will be able to enjoy our number 2’s brilliant laugh for a few years more still. And if you have still not had enough of Mo, you’re in just the right place!
In our exclusive Home Story with Mo Simakan, he takes us back to his roots. We visited his home city of Marseilles with him and got amazing insights into his life there.
