    Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed the 32-year-old would sign a four-year deal with the New York outfit earlier this week.

    However, the attacking midfielder, who has played 318 times and scored 69 goals for Leipzig after more than eight years with the Bundesliga club, would not be drawn on his future.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Forsberg is something of a club legend at Leipzig. He helped them earn promotion from Bundesliga 2 in 2016 and played a huge role in establishing them as a top side in the German top-flight but also in Europe.

    If he were to leave, it would be the end of a very successful era for both the Swedish international - whose contract expires in 2025 - and Leipzig.
