Rômulo: ‘I want to stay at Leipzig as long as possible’ | OneFootball

Rômulo scored nine goals and provided four assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances in his maiden campaign for RB Leipzig, helping the Saxony club secure a place in this season’s UEFA Champions League.

And now, speaking during his team’s training camp in Saalfelden, the Brazilian has expressed his excitement at the upcoming season and his desire to remain at Leipzig.

“I’m happy here and I’ve now adapted to the league and the club,” he explained. “I want to stay here for as long as possible and play for Leipzig in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.” The latter of which “is every footballer’s dream.”

Martín Demichelis replaced Ole Werner this summer, but Rômulo relishes playing under the Argentine coach. “It’s a different style [of football],” he said.

“Micho wants us to have more possession and greater control. I need to control the ball well and hold it up, help the team, link the play and create chances.”

Eyeing silverware in his second season, the 24-year-old added: “We’re a big club and there’s a huge amount of quality in the squad.

“We want to challenge in the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League. Our aim is to win a trophy.”
