RB coach Jesse Marsch was surprisingly open about Bayern's interest in Marcel Sabitzer and gave a bold season forecast for his team.
Munich - Leipzig's Marcel Sabitzer has been one of the key players at RB Leipzig * for six years now.
The Austrian has been linked several times in the past few days with a move to FC Bayern * and thus to his former coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Sabitzer's current coach let himself be carried away by a hint.
Bayern: Marcel Sabitzer candidate for a move?
Statements from RB coach give a deep insight
Leipzig's new coach Jesse Marsch spoke to
the
Süddeutsche Zeitung
about the Austrian's situation. One statement in particular gave an idea of how things are going with Sabitzer. The American is hoping that his puller will remain in the central midfield, "but it's difficult to keep a player if he doesn't want to stay," said Marsch. So it seems that Sabitzer is willing to leave Leipzig.
A possible departure of the 27-year-old "would not be easy," he added in the interview.
“I like Sabi.
He has become an important figure in this club in recent years, ”he said of the 227-time RB player.
However, he also understands the professional's thoughts on the future, "when it is said that a club like Bayern Munich is interested, and that is just one of many clubs".

Marsch also revealed that there had already been good conversations.
But there is still no clarity, which the statements of the former Salzburg coach confirm.
"We are both mature enough and we understand that the situation can change or stay the same," said Marsch.
Should the employment relationship between Sabitzer and the Red Bulls persist, the midfielder would again fight with the Leipzigers for international business.
Although “every game day is a test”, Marsch is of the opinion “that we can consider ourselves with our squad for a candidate for the championship - but in the role of a hunter”.
Without Sabitzer, the Champions League * qualifying goal for the season could be a bit more difficult again, but in recent years RB Leipzig has always been able to respond excellently to departures with good scouting.
In addition to FC Bayern, AC Milan * and a few other Italian and Spanish clubs are considered to be the greatest interested parties for a possible commitment.
