In the latest media interview, Red Bull Leipzig's sporting director Schröder once again took a clear stance on the future of his team's central midfielder Olmo. In the face of continued interest in Olmo's transfer rumors, Schroeder said, "We are well aware that Olmo's talent has attracted the attention of many clubs, but let's be clear, we will never easily give up such an outstanding player at any price."
Schroeder spoke highly of Olmo's performance on the pitch, "Olmo's impressive mark on the game and the many positive headlines he created proved that he is an integral part of our team. We are delighted that he is still in the squad and look forward to him returning next week to once again strengthen our overall performance."
However, Schroeder has not completely ruled out Olmo's departure, admitting that changes in the transfer market are difficult to predict: "The transfer window has been open for some time now, and although there haven't been too many big moves so far, the world of soccer is always full of variables. There could be a real push, but we don't have a specific timetable for that."
In the face of a possible transfer fiasco, Schröder said that FC Leipzig will remain calm and rational: "We are always prepared for the worst case scenario, as it is our duty. We will continue to communicate with Olmo and his agent and will also keep a close eye on the transfer market to ensure that the team's interests are maximally protected."
