Leipzig announced this Friday the execution of the purchase option by the Spanish side José Ángel Esmorís, 'Angeliño', on loan from Manchester City for a year and that he has signed a contract until 2025 with the German club, with which he has scored 9 goals and has given 16 assists.
“Angeliño is a very good player, which is very important for our game. He played an important role for us from the beginning and, although he has already evolved very well and fast, there is much more to him, ”said Julian Nagelsmann, Leipzig coach, in the club's statement after the 2-1 at Augsburg.
“Angel needed little time to adjust to our game and he found his place from the beginning. He also contributed to achieving our goals in the Champions League. We are very happy that he continues to wear the RB Leipzig jersey, ”said Markus Krösche, its sporting director.
The footballer, who turned 24 on January 4, has played 46 games with his current team (32 in the Bundesliga, 10 in the Champions League and four in the German Cup), with nine goals (5 in the Bundesliga , 3 in the Champions League and 1 in the Cup) and 16 assists, of which five correspond to the Champions League.
The announcement of his signing comes hours after Bayern, through their sports director, Hasan Salihamidzic, announced that they will pay the termination clause of Dayot Upamecano after reaching a transfer agreement for the French defender.
