RB Leipzig signing Angelino: Barcelona interest amazing, but...

RB Leipzig signing Angelino admits he fielded interest from Barcelona before making the move.

Angelino joined RBL on an initial loan this summer from Manchester City after a successful six months in Leipzig last season.

However, it's emerged Barca made an attempt to intervene in negotiations, which was confirmed by the fullback.

He told BILD: "It's amazing that one of the biggest clubs in the world wanted me.

"But in my head it was always clear: I want to stay with RB and not go to another club - no matter what it is about.

"Leipzig suits me, the club's high goals fascinate me. I'm as hungry as the club. The coach is one of the top reasons."
