We have talked the club’s officials and discussed our ambitions, his future and his dreams. They have not signed him for 15 millions but for 3 millions, he signed a long term contract and has repaid the club at least 10 times his value. They should let him leave. Emil wants to take the next step, if not possible, Leipzig must live with the knowledge that they are destroying his dreams“.
