RB Leipzig has officially announced the signing of Antonio Nusa from Club Brugge. Previously, it was reported that Leipzig was seeking a replacement for Dani Olmo, who recently joined Barcelona. Additionally, Leipzig aimed to bring in a winger to fill Olmo’s role, preferring someone who can move into dangerous central positions.
Despite interest in PSV Eindhoven’s Johan Bakayoko and Olympique Lyonnais’s Rayan Cherki, Leipzig chose to acquire Nusa, a standout talent who belongs to the current Norwegian golden generation. The transfer fee for the 19-year-old is reported to be between 20 and 25.5 million euros, with Nusa committing to a five-year contract, potentially keeping him at Leipzig until 2029.
What Antonio Nusa Said on His Signing
Upon his signing, Nusa expressed his excitement, saying: “I am incredibly proud to join RB Leipzig and the Bundesliga. The club has presented me with a clear vision and pathway, which convinced me completely. It’s a significant step for me, but I am ready for it. RB Leipzig has become one of Europe’s top clubs and a prime destination for young players.” He expressed his desire to link up with the team very soon and start playing.
“I’m joining a fantastic squad with a great blend of young and experienced players and a clear playing style: offensive, dynamic, and focused on counter-pressing. This aligns perfectly with my strengths, and I’m eager to play alongside talents like Xavi Simons, Lois Openda, and Benjamin Sesko, who have already demonstrated their abilities in Leipzig. I’m excited to get started!” exclaimed Nusa.
Nusa understands the responsibilities that playing for a club like RB Leipzig entail. Leipzig will kick off their 2024-25 season against Rot-Weiss Essen in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Saturday afternoon, where Nusa might get the chance to impress the Leipzig fans.
Nusa’s New Role at RB Leipzig
Antonio Nusa is truly a great young talent. He controls the game from the wing and makes his presence quickly felt inside the opponent’s penalty area, always trying to score. His two feet are considered to be balanced as he possesses great ability with both of them. He loves to engage fullbacks in one-on-one duels , cut past them, and then chop in to finally have a shot.
At RB Leipzig, his role will be to fill the shoes of Dani Olmo who recently left for Barcelona. He’s expected to produce great outcomes as soon as the club has signed him. But he wont help only on the attack. He will have to adjust himself according to the type of play RB Leipzig follows: the famous defensive style where, as soon as the ball is won, a rapid counterattack commences and all players push forward.
