\nBERLIN:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

RB Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg has signed with sister club New York Red Bulls, the German club announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made just moments after Forsberg came off the bench to score the decisive goal in Leipzig’s 3-1 home win over Hoffenheim, which sent them up to third in the table.<\/p>\n

“Everything has an end,” Forsberg told Sky. “I can barely believe it… I’ve experienced some great moments.”<\/p>\n

Forsberg, 32, joined from Swedish side Malmo in 2015, when Leipzig were in the second division.<\/p>\n

He has now played 324 games for the club, scoring 71 goals and winning back-to-back German Cups in 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n

Although he started on the bench, the 42,000-strong home crowd chanted Forsberg’s name throughout the match and broke out in celebration on the 10-minute mark, the Swede’s kit number.<\/p>\n

Forsberg came on after 66 minutes and scored on the counter just four minutes later, to give Leipzig a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

He then set up the match-sealing goal for Mohamed Simakan to ensure Leipzig claimed all three points in his final home game.<\/p>\n

Long-time teammate Yussuf Poulsen, who joined Leipzig in 2013, called Forsberg “a good friend”.<\/p>\n

“There’s nobody in the dressing room or around the team who would have a bad word to say about him.”<\/p>\n

Forsberg will make his final appearance for Leipzig on Tuesday at Werder Bremen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
