Amadou Haidara

Amadou Haidara of RB Leipzig was born in Bamako, Mali on 31 January 1998 (age 26)

The robust midfielder, Amadou Haidara, graced with both the birthright and burden of the desert plains of Mali, drawing breath for the first time on the 31 January 1998, has carved an esteemed professional football career. Plying his trade within the centre of the park for the German outfit, RB Leipzig, he stands a modest 5ft 8in tall (1.75m) and tips the scales at a lean 10st 9lb (68kg). Donned with the weight of the revered number 8 jersey, Haidara's talents extend to international duties proudly representing his native Mali.

As reported by Transfermarkt, his perceived ability on the pitch is reflected in his market value, estimated at around £17.5m. His pledge to RB Leipzig remains steadfast with his contractual obligations binding him to the team until the 30 June 2026.

Seeking greener pastures in July 2016, Haidara embarked on a new chapter of his career with a move to Red Bull Salzburg, firmly ensconced in the heart of Austrian football. The 2016 - 2017 season with his new club offered the opportunity for a mere five first team appearances where he netted a single goal. The following season, Haidara's presence was more prominent, seamlessly transitioning into a mainstay in the first team, with 31 appearances and three goals to his name. The final season with the Austrian side yielded a respectable tally of 12 appearances and two scoring ventures.

With the turn of the calendar to January 2019, Haidara found himself on familiar territory, albeit in a different setting. A transfer from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig for a sum of around £16m marked his induction into the Bundesliga. His maiden season in Germany resulted in nine first team appearances and an inaugural goal. Successive seasons painted a picture of consistency with steady appearances and a trickle of goals in each. Currently, in the 2024 - 2025 season, Haidara already tallies nine appearances in league matches.

Among his successes, an impressive list of participations in esteemed international tournaments features prominently. His prowess seen on the field in both the Champions League 2023 - 2024 season for RB Leipzig and subsequently the 2024 - 2025 season. Additionally, his international duties for Mali also call forth his skills for Africa CON 2023 and World Cup Qualifiers Africa 2024 - 2026 respectively.
