RB Leipzig star Emil Forsberg says he has no desire to leave the club this summer.


The Swedish international is looking forward to the summer arrival of the club's new head coach, Julian Nagelsmann, who will join 'Die Roten Bullen' from Hoffenheim, and makes it clear that he feels really well in Leipzig.

"A new coach, who plays great football, will come. That fits me really well, and I have three years left of my contract," Forsberg said in an interview with Focus.

"Of course you have dreams as a footballer, and I would like to be able to say that I played in Serie A, La Liga or the Premier League.

"But I live in the here and now, and that's why I signed a five-year-contract. I feel completely at home here, and we have a great future ahead of us," Forsberg explained.

The 27-year-old, who's under contract until 2022, has scored seven goals and made nine assists in 27 appearances this season.
