Nkunku wants to stay at RB Leipzig: ‘Not renewed to leave next year’

Leipzig contract without clause

No sooner had Christopher Nkunku extended his contract with RB Leipzig until 2026 than the first speculations arose about an exit clause that would allow the Frenchman to leave next summer. The “LVZ” reported a short time later that there was no such agreement, at least in writing, but wrote of an oral agreement between the Saxons and the 24-year-old. However, it is by no means foreseeable that Nkunku will make use of this – at least says the offensive player himself.

“For me it was a matter of course to extend my contract with RB Leipzig. I feel very comfortable both in the club and in the city. And I don’t see my job here as finished. That’s why I don’t intend to leave the club again next year,” said Nkunku at a press conference in the training camp in Austria.

With a market value of 80 million euros, the Leipzig player is the most valuable professional in the Bundesliga together with Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich (27) and BVB professional Jude Bellingham (19). In recent years, players with this status have usually left the league for more financially strong clubs, such as Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland recently.

The fact that Nkunku is not yet thinking about a move to the Premier League, for example, is based on his goals at RB Leipzig: “We as a team did very well last season, but there is still more to do. I want to continue on this already successful path with RB Leipzig.”
