Patrik Schick has confirmed that he ‘absolutely’ wants to stay at RB Leipzig, who are reported to be asking Roma for a 50 percent discount.
Schick made a slow start to his season-long loan at Leipzig but has not looked back since November, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 19 appearances.
With the German side reserving a €29m option to buy this summer, the 24-year-old is keen on turning his stay permanent.
“I can absolutely see myself staying,” he told Kicker.

“I can absolutely see myself staying,” he told Kicker.
“The club has to find a solution now and I’ll be happy if they can.”
However, sport.ceskatelevize.cz warns Leipzig are hoping the Giallorossi will accept just €14.5m, in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, Pavel Paska informed the website: “They’re very happy with him. Things are looking clear.”
It remains to be seen whether Roma will cut their losses to that extent, given they committed to paying Sampdoria a club-record €42m for him in 2017.
