RB Leipzig decided to retire the number ten shirt after Sweden’s Emil Forberg decided to join MLS side New York Red Bull, according to Le Figaro.
RB Leipzig will ditch the number 10 shirt following the departure of Emil Forsberg
After more than 7 years (2015-2023), Emil Forsberg will leave RB Leipzig, although he had a contract until 2025.
The author of 71 goals and 57 decisive assists since joining Leipzig, Emil Forsberg (32 years old) is considered a legend at a club that wanted to pay him a proper tribute.
Although it is common in basketball, especially in the NBA, jersey removal from football is unusual. The measure will apply in Leipzig from January 2024.
RB Leipzig finished 2nd in Group G of the Champions League (after Manchester City) and will meet Real Madrid in the round of 16. In the Bundesliga, the team is in 4th place (33 points, after 16 rounds).
