The attacking player will be at De Graafschap for one season
Yannick Eduardo will be playing the next season De Graafschap, loaned out for one year to the Dutch second division club.
The 18 year-old player had a convincing 2023/24 season, scoring 19 goals and providing 3 assists in 27 Under-19 Bundesliga matches. He added another 5 goals to his tally with the Under-19 squad in his 7 UEFA Youth League games, proving crucial to RB Leipzig's first ever appearance in the tournament's Final 16 round.
Yannick joined RB Leipzig's youth divisions in the summer of 2022, coming from NEC Nijmegen. On January, 2024 he received a professional player contract lasting until 2027.
We wish you the best in the Netherlands, Yannick!
Sport Director Rouven Schröder:
- "Yannick Eduardo was one of the absolute top performers of the Under-19s last season and is ready to prove himself as a professional player. The loan to De Graafschap is the perfect next step for both Yannick and us for his best possible development. He will be playing with the Senior Squad and will gain as much match experience as possible. We wish Yannick all the best in his upcoming season in the Netherlands."
