Benjamin Henrichs

Benjamin Henrichs has made 17 Bundesliga appearances for RB Leipzig this season, but only three of those have been starts. That split points to a right-back being used mainly as a squad option rather than a fixed starter, with 14 substitute appearances suggesting he is often trusted to manage games or provide late defensive cover. One goal and no cards is a clean, low-event profile – useful, but not central to Leipzig’s attacking output.

Henrichs’ career path shows a player who moved early from Bayer Leverkusen to Monaco before returning to the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. The available career data is limited on appearances, but the pattern is clear enough: a high-profile move abroad, then a long Leipzig spell with modest but recurring goal contributions. At 29, he looks more like an established squad defender than a player on a steep upward curve.

The transfer record shows serious investment at each major step. Monaco paid €18.00m to take Henrichs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2018, before RB Leipzig brought him in on loan in 2020 and made the move permanent for €14.00m in 2021. That sequence suggests Leipzig used the loan to reduce risk before committing, while his current €20.00m market value indicates he has retained a solid level of status.
