Leipzig has issued a statement in which they praise the Galician defender: “RB Leipzig now executes the purchase option and tie the top scorer for the next four and a half years. The 24-year-old defender arrived in Leipzig from Manchester City on loan in January 2020 and immediately adapted perfectly to Julian Nagelsmann's team and playing system. The southpaw has already played more than 40 full games for the Red Bulls and was a deciding factor in the successful past year. with nine goals and 16 impressive assists. We hope to see you continue to show your magic on the field, Angel! ”.
