Hardly any other player represents RB Leipzig’s success and rise to a top international club as much as Emil Forsberg (31). But now the blonde Swede is about to say goodbye. According to BILD information, Emil Forsberg (31) will leave the Bundesliga club – in the winter! His new club has already been decided: According to BILD information, he will move to Major League Soccer (MLS) to sister club New York Red Bulls – and there sign a long-term contract. It is possible that he will remain with the Brause group even after his active career. In Leipzig, Forsberg still has a working paper until 2025. In the last few weeks there have been repeated discussions about an extension including an option until 2027 – but they could not be brought to a successful conclusion. Now it is clear why: Forsberg and his wife Shanga (who was once a soccer player herself) decided to move to the USA. And the transfer will not only pay off financially for him!

After two defeats (Wolfsburg, Mainz) without the Swede in the starting line-up, coach Marco Rose (47) brought the director back from the start – it promptly worked with victories in Belgrade (2:1) and against Freiburg (3:1). It is also clear: With Forsberg, Leipzig is not just losing a superstar and sporting top performer.
