Poulsen on his future at RB Leipzig told:

“At some point I will definitely try something different, but I’m only 26 years old and at the moment I’m very happy in Leipzig,” he explained.

“If I had planned my career 10 years ago, I would certainly not have earmarked seven years in Leipzig, but I’ve been here that long now. When I signed, I hadn’t even heard of Leipzig!”

“Once you’re there, you have the firm desire to go all the way to the final and win the title.” – Poulsen said on Champions League.

“Sure, there are teams with a better chance on paper, but in football there are always surprises.”
