Emil Forsberg has long been a key player in the German big club Leipzig, but as the situation is now, his contract expires in the summer of 2022. The Swedish star wants to avoid this at all costs.

- I am clear that I do not want to enter into a final contract year with the club.

I hope the club understands that and respects it.

If Leipzig can not or do not want to extend, I hope they say so.

Whether it will be an extension or a new club does not currently seem to play a major role for Forsberg,

- It is difficult for me to answer. I feel in great shape. I have many years in me at a very high level. I hope we can have a respect for each other and find a solution, he says during the gathering with the Swedish national team.
