The German outfit missed out on the youngster after he agreed a deal with their Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund earlier this week
Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche has explained why the club missed out on the signature of Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland, and says that he would had to have “fought” for a place in the side.
The 19-year-old agreed a switch to fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund last month, with Leipzig among a long list of clubs who had shown an interest in the Norwegian international.
Leipzig’s sporting director Krosche told Bild the reasons behind their failed attempts to bring in the striker.
