Following an alteration of the game, poker has been modified. - Rose engages in a discussion with Mintzlaff.
The Red Bull coach didn't provide a definite answer, but hinted that things were looking promising. "It seems like a good deal. We don't need to rush either. I think we're close to securing it."
He added, "Benny is a significant player for us. Not only is he a German international, but he's also a valuable addition to our French squad members. Benny has a lot of talent and as a coach, I'm delighted that he might be with us next year."
As for Julien Nagelsmann's future, speculation has been rife since their draw against Bremen (1-1). In a recent development, a conversation between him and Red Bull boss Oliver Mintzlaff (48) took place.
"Julien listens to what Oliver Mintzlaff has to say, and in turn, Oliver listens to the message that Julien sends out. The positive side is that we're both grown-up individuals who can have a conversation over the phone. And the most essential part of it is that it's really about the club and the club's interests."
Rose continued, "Oliver and I want to achieve success together and, most importantly, with the club we're currently competing for. We both enjoy being here."
Following the last home game, Rose fueled speculations about his future in Leipzig, stating conditions for his contract extension and not denying claims of interest from Milan. Mintzlaff then voiced his thoughts in the 'Spielmacher' podcast.
"There have been a lot of discussions this week, and I can assure you that we have a clear direction internally. Oliver and I want to work towards a common goal - the success of the club," said Rose. He reiterated, "The main focus is on the club. Me and Oliver Mintzlaff have a great relationship. And we're trying to work towards the same objective. You could also believe that we have an open-minded discourse as we challenge each other. That's a part of it."
Rose's team will be in Frankfurt on Saturday (3.30 pm), and a win could help them match Ralph Hasenhüttl's season record (67 points) from the 2016/17 premiere season.
Olmo unlikely to return to Leipzig?
However, Leipzig still lacks depth in their squad. One player who won't feature in their upcoming match is Dani Olmo. The playmaker is dealing with muscle issues.
"Dani won't play, and we don't want to take any risks given the upcoming European Championship."
There's a chance Olmo might never play for Leipzig again. His contract runs until 2027, but he could leave this summer, fetching a fixed €60 million. Multiple clubs have shown interest, including Barcelona and Manchester City.
Apart from Olmo, defenders Mohamed Simakan (24) and Christopher Lenz (29) will also be absent on Saturday. National team player, David Raum (26), will be given a rest after a muscle injury. 17-year-old U19 talent, Jonathan Vonheim Norbye, will make his debut for the team.
