The star denies wanting to leave RB Leipzig as Tottenham, Arsenal and Roma monitor the Norwegian winger. RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has publicly addressed speculation surrounding his future, shutting down suggestions that he wants to leave the Bundesliga club. According to video footage published by Spurs Insight on X, the 21-year-old Norwegian international insisted he has never asked for a transfer away from Leipzig. Speaking directly to German broadcaster Sky Deutschland following his return from off-season break, Nusa firmly rejected ongoing media reports: “I never made any wish to leave Leipzig.” Nusa elaborated that outside noise regarding his future does not affect his focus at the club: “There is always transfer speculation, and the media can write whatever they want, but I never asked to leave Leipzig. I was simply on vacation, but now I am here.” His direct statement provides clarity following weeks of intense speculation linking him with moves across Europe. High Asking Price and Widespread European Interest Nusa’s comments arrive amidst reported interest from several major European sides, including Tottenham Hotspur, AS Roma, and Arsenal. The Norwegian international enhanced his global reputation after a series of lively performances for Norway, further elevating his transfer profile. Despite the growing list of suitors, RB Leipzig maintain a strong stance regarding the young attacker. Reports indicate that Leipzig value Nusa at approximately €60 million (£51 million). With Nusa showing no intention to force an exit, suitors face a difficult task to convince the German club to lower their financial demands. Tottenham Hotspur have been actively searching for dynamic wide attackers to reinforce head coach Roberto De Zerbi’s forward options. Nusa’s direct dribbling ability and versatility across both flanks made him an appealing candidate for the North London club. However, Nusa’s public commitment to Leipzig, combined with Leipzig’s steep valuation, presents a major obstacle for Spurs. Unless Tottenham choose to trigger Leipzig’s full asking price, the club may turn their primary focus toward alternative targets to strengthen their attacking unit before the transfer deadline.
