Report: Leipzig Close to Finalizing Move for Angelino

Manchester City loanee RB Leipzig is close to completing a move to the Bundesliga with the East German side according to Kicker. The news comes after both sides seemed to be at an impasse over bringing in the Spaniard. Now, it appears that he may become a permanent part of the Leipzig side.

Angelino has been a journeyman since signing with Manchester City back in 2014. His loan spells included visits to NYCFC, Girona, Mallorca and PSV before ending up with manager Julian Nagelsmann in Germany. While he found minutes in other sides, it was in Leipzig that he made a statement as a starter. wingback is a position that Leipzig are overflowing in but the 23-year-old made it difficult for Nagelsmann to choose between him, Lukas Klostermann or Marcel Halstenberg. Once the season ended, Leipzig made it a top priority to bring back the player and make him a permanent part of the team.

The move makes the most sense for Angelino who has found himself on the outside of Pep Guardiola's plans at Manchester City. Despite showing his own ability, it appeared as if the team was more willing to keep him on the sideline than make him a part of the long-term plans. That has not been the case in Leipzig and the Bundesliga side will more than likely guarantee more Champions League time on the pitch over the next year.

The move won't be cheap as the anticipated fee will be between 10 to 20 million Euros. Leipzig are not strapped for cash but have said in the past that they will only spend on players that are keen to Nagelsmann's plans.

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
