Emil Forsberg has been playing for RB Leipzig for more than eight years. But this time could come to an end in the winter transfer period, several media outlets are unanimously reporting.
The bloodletting at RB Leipzig in the summer was great. The previous regular players Christopher Nkunku (FC Chelsea), Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City), Konrad Laimer (FC Bayern Munich), Dominik Szoboszlai (FC Liverpool) and Marcel Halstenberg (Hannover 96) are now earning their money at other clubs.

In the eleven games so far he has only been in the starting line-up four times – despite the injury break of his position rival Dani Olmo. That is apparently not enough for the ambitious Forsberg.
