Leipzig plans 2nd team
In view of the impending departures of Konrad Laimer and Christopher Nkunku, managing director Max Eberl is fighting for Dani Olmo’s contract extension at RB Leipzig. “That’s one of my priorities, we’ve had three good talks so far. I have a good feeling,” said the 49-year-old at the 16th fan video conference on Wednesday evening, which the “Leipziger Volkszeitung” recorded.
“Dani knows what he has in this club,” said Eberl confidently. “I also know his dad quite well, I try to play on that. Let’s see if it works. Dani is a top player who has fantastic potential.” Olmo’s contract in Saxony only runs until 2024.
Eberl plans second team at RB Leipzig: “Building block in the training chain”
But Eberl is also looking at his own offspring and would like to set up new structures in order to integrate players from the region into the professional team. That’s why the former Bundesliga professional would like to introduce a second team to the game as a “building block in the training chain”. “The best way is to discover and work with young players, to mentor young people and see their potential.”
