El Chadaille Bitshiabu, born on the 16th of May 2002 in France, plies his trade as a central defender for RB Leipzig. Standing at an imposing 6ft 5in (1.96 metres) and weighing in at 12st 12lb (82 kilograms), Bitshiabu makes for an intimidating presence on the football pitch. He is typically seen donning the number 5 jersey for his club.
As of the time of reporting, his market value is pegged at around £10.5m according to Transfermarkt, with his contract with RB Leipzig scheduled to run until the 30th of June 2028, that's just under four years remaining.
Bitshiabu started his professional football journey at Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 in France, where he joined as a trainee in July 2016. His first season with PSG's senior side (2021-2022) saw him make only a single appearance in the league. The following season he was featured more prominently, earning 13 first team appearances in Ligue 1 matches.
In July 2023, Bitshiabu departed the French capital to join RB Leipzig in Germany's Bundesliga. The transfer fee paid for his services was reported to be in the region of £15m. His first season with the German outfit (2023-2024) saw him take to the pitch six times. As of the ongoing season (2024-2025), Bitshiabu has already made five appearances.
In the Champions League 2024-2025, Bitshiabu has been used sparingly by RB Leipzig, starting just once and making another appearance coming off the bench.
