Due to his excellent start to the season, speculation about the future of RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has been growing. During the Norway national team training camp, the 21-year-old was asked about his thoughts on the transfer rumors.
Antonio Nusa smiled and told Norwegian TV2: "I'm trying to ignore these things for now. A lot of things are happening at the same time. I try not to check my phone too often, because all sorts of messages keep appearing."
When asked what he sees when he checks his phone, Antonio Nusa replied: "Everything! All kinds of messages pop up. It's not like I can't see them, so I know what's going on outside. That's why I'm trying to step away from it for a while. I have trustworthy people around me, so there's no pressure. I just want to enjoy my daily life at RB Leipzig.
"This (RB Leipzig) is a very good team with an excellent coach. In addition, I have an agent who handles other matters, allowing me to focus solely on football. That's the most important thing for me."
There were previous rumors that Antonio Nusa might transfer as early as January next year. However, Norway national team coach Ståle Solbakken believes it would be best for Antonio Nusa to stay at RB Leipzig until at least next summer.
Ståle Solbakken said: "I think it's best for him to stay there and finish this season, enjoy an excellent Bundesliga campaign, and grow further before taking the next step.
"If he transfers after completing a full season, rather than leaving mid-season, he will also be able to participate in a full pre-season preparation and have the opportunity to get acquainted with new coaches and teammates during a summer without the European Championship or World Cup."
