RB Leipzig coach Nagelsmann hails Angelino: But can we afford to sign him?

RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann admits he wants to keep hold of on-loan Manchester City fullback Angelino.

The Spaniard joined in January on-loan to June with a €17.5m permanent option - a fee Nagelsmann feels may be out of their reach.

Nagelsmann told Kicker: "He has a huge price tag. We must first see what is in the wallet and if the player and the releasing club then play along. It will be settled in the future.

"Here he has to do a lot of things very differently than with Pep (Guardiola). He adapts to things incredibly fast. He is the only newcomer who can adapt extremely quickly to the way I think about football - just offensively. He got used to it."
