Haidara plays down links to Newcastle and Manchester United

Amadou Haidara has reacted to reports that clubs from England are chasing his signature.
RB Leipzig midfielder Amadou Haidara has downplayed speculation linking him with a move to the English Premier League.

"I have no reason to think about a transfer," said the 24-year-old, according to Bild.

"That the English league is very interesting for all of us is clear. But why should I throw everything away here for something uncertain?," added Haidara, who has been linked with Manchester United and Newcastle United, according to Bild.

"There's also the question of whether it's worth it. Of course, I've asked myself that question, but I don't have an answer for it because I want to achieve my goals here with RB."

Haidara's contract with Leipzig expires in 2025.
