Tyler Adams' transfer to RB Leipzig felt like a foregone conclusion for months, but one of the hurdles in completing the move for the U.S. national team midfielder was figuring out just how the structure of a transfer would look given it would be a transaction between affiliated clubs.
Multiple sources tell Goal that the transfer, which will become official when the Bundesliga's winter transfer period opens in January, will be worth an initial fee of $3 million, along with a 33 percent sell-on clause, meaning the New York Red Bulls will receive one third of any future transfer fee paid to RB Leipzig for Adams.
