CEO Leipzig: We will keep Nkunku, and I was left in tears when Sabicze left

RB Leipzig attacker Nkunku has performed well recently, and he has attracted the attention of many giants. However, the club's CEO Minzruff is confident of keeping the players, saying Nkunku will continue to play for Leipzig next season.

Nkunku,whose contract with Leipzig expires in 2024, has made 30 appearances this season, scoring 18 goals and 10 assists. Speaking on Sky90's programme, Mintzlav said: "Nkunku will continue to play with us next season. Of course nothing in the football world is certain, but our plan is to keep the players. Clubs want to strengthen the squad, not weaken it, so not many players will leave this summer. ”

Leipzig has previously lost successively to Palmecano, Konat, Sabitzer and head coach Nagelsmann. Commenting on Nagelsman's departure, Minzruff said: "The transfer fee is 20 million euros, which is not much. At lunch yesterday, I had already told Heiner that it was not an expensive transfer fee for Bayern. ”

Regarding Sabitzer's departure, Mintzlav said he was in tears at the time. He said: "We want to keep Sabicze, although he has the potential to be the first key player to leave us on a free transfer. But we had too many players in midfield and coach Mahi also felt that Sabitzer missed Nagelsman, so we didn't put up an obstacle for the players to leave the team. Of course, I'm a good businessman. In the end, Sabitzer joined Bayern for 15 million euros.
