Antonio Nusa says he's “trying to take a step back” from all the speculation surrounding his future.

Following an impressive start to the season, speculation over the future of RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has intensified.

At the Norwegian national team camp, the 21-year-old was asked how he views the rumours.

“I’m trying to take a step back from it all. There’s a lot going on at the same time right now. I’m trying not to check my phone too often because there’s always something going on there,” Nusa told Norwegian broadcaster TV2 with a laugh.

Asked what he sees when he checks his phone, Nusa replied:

“I see everything! Whatever comes up. I’m not blind, so I’m aware of what’s going on. That’s why I’m trying to take a step back. I have good people around me. There’s no stress. I’m just trying to enjoy my everyday life in Leipzig.

“It's a fantastic team with a fantastic coach. On top of that, I have an agent who takes care of all the other aspects and simply lets me focus on football. That's the most important thing for me.”

There has been speculation that a move could happen as early as January, but Norway head coach Ståle Solbakken believes Nusa would be wise to remain at RB Leipzig until at least the summer.

“I think it would be wise for him to stay there (at RB Leipzig) for the rest of the season and enjoy a good Bundesliga campaign, where he can mature a little more before taking the next step,” he said.

“If he moves after a full season rather than halfway through one, he will also get a full pre-season and have the opportunity to get to know his new coaches and teammates during a summer without a European Championship or World Cup.”
