According to Desky, Nottingham Forest negotiated loan + selective buyout with Leipzig to introduce Heitleida.

Nottingham Forest has entered into contact with RB Leipzig for right-back Heitleida. With five days left in the transfer window, Heitleida is one of the four full-back targets at Nottingham Forest.

However, Serie A team Atlanta is also interested in Heitleida and has made preliminary contact with Leipzig.

One of the options currently under discussion is to rent a transfer with a buyout option. Although Heitleida only joined Leipzig from Feyenoord last summer, he is dissatisfied with the current situation and is willing to consider leaving the team.
