Manchester City defender Angelino has hinted he could be pushing for a permanent move away from the Etihad.
The 23-year-old was given permission to leave on loan in the January transfer window in search of game, with RB Leipzig giving him the opportunity.
Life in Germany has not been bad for the left-back after all who seems to be enjoying his football with the Bundesliga outfit.
Having sold Angelino to PSV, City exercised their buyback clause in the contract in 2019 to bring the player Spanish under 21 player back to the Etihad Stadium, but was restricted to just 12 outings prompting a move away once again.
However, the player has become an integral part of Julian Nagelsmann’s Leipzig team, where he has gained the manager’s trust as well as supports from his teammates, leaving him to consider a permanent move to Germany.
“I mean, for me as a player the biggest thing for me is a coach that gives me confidence, so I’ll leave it there,” Angelino told Eurosport when asked about his future.
“Since the first day Julian has given me a lot, I’m very grateful to him, the staff and mostly the club.
“They gave me this chance in January and I wanted to go somewhere and play and enjoy football again and thanks to this club I did it so I’m very grateful.
“I want to play, hopefully I’ll be stable soon. I’m very happy at the moment and I try to enjoy my time here, we will see.”
Angelino also added that he has a good relationship with City manager Pep Guardiola despite the lack of playing time, with the club also monitoring his performances in Germany.
He added: “I spoke to him (Guardiola) before I joined the club.
“He speaks more with Julian and I think they keep more in contact than me with them, but it’s a good relationship.
“These last six months I didn’t play much but I feel as a player I improved a lot with him (Nagelsmann) once I arrived here and started playing again, I can see an improvement.
“It was a project (Leipzig) that I was following for a few months already and the project they had the last few years and this year they did great in the Champions League. The project, and obviously the coach and his ideas really suit my style.
“So it wasn’t a hard decision to come and join Leipzig.”
