Bundesliga: Nico Mantl stays with Red Bull Salzburg
Salzburg – Tuesday, August 30th, 2022, 4:02 p.m
Red Bull Salzburg will keep their number 2 goalkeeper position at least through the summer.
In an interview with “Sky”, Nico Mantl buries his intention to change for the first time. Mantl previously clearly communicated to his club that he was pushing for a change.
However, the German now explains that he tried to get in touch with the club last week and they assured him that he should be given a fair chance. Accordingly, Mantl stays for now.
The goalkeeper, whose contract runs until 2025, had inquiries from the 2nd German Bundesliga and from Belgium. Clubs like KAA Gent and SV Oostende expressed interest.
“Target is number 1”
Mantl clarifies: “My goal is clear: to be number 1 as quickly as possible. Everyone is aware of that.”
In the internal goalkeeper ranking, he has been behind Phillip Köhn since last season and must continue to sit on the bench. The future of the German U-21 national player is to be re-evaluated in winter.
Mantlkrieg switched from Unterhaching to Salzburg in 2021 for two million euros. His contract in the city of Mozart runs until 2025.
This season, the German has not been able to collect a single minute of play in a competitive game.
