Emil Forsberg’s agent has accused RB Leipzig of trying to destroy his client’s dreams after the club made it clear that they won’t sell the Arsenal and AC Milan target this summer.
RB Leipzig chairman Oliver Mintzlaff explained on Wednesday that they won’t be selling the 25-year-old Swede this summer and reminded the player and his agent that he has a long contract with the club.
The club supremo’s words have incensed the player’s camp and Hasan Cetinkaya, his agent, insisted that after all that Forsberg has done for Leipzig in helping them to reach the Bundesliga and Champions League, he didn’t expect such treatment from the club.
He insisted that the player has spoken about his ambition with the club hierarchy and feels Leipzig are trying to destroy his client’s dreams.
Cetinkaya told Aftonbladet: “I and Emil have always accepted the club and the contracts with them.
"When Emil went there, the ambition was to take the team to the Bundesliga and then the Champions League.
"He has been involved with them all the way and broke records in their shirt.

“Both me and Emil have spoken to the club about his ambition, his future and his dreams.
"They didn’t buy him for €15m, but for €3m and he signed a new contract and paid them back ten times.
“They will have to live with the fact that they are destroying his dreams.”
He urged Leipzig to at least listen to what the player has to say but admits that despite interest from some of the biggest names in Europe, his client will continue at the east German outfit.
“The least they can do is listen to Emil and understand how he thinks as he has given everything to take the club to the top.
“But here it is and life goes on. There is interest from some of the biggest clubs but I have informed there is nothing.
“As Emil has four years left on his contract, we expect him to stay.”
AC Milan have reportedly held talks with the Swede’s agent about a transfer and even Arsenal have been linked with a summer move for him.
