"We dedicated a lot of time and effort over the course of several meetings to trying to persuade Xaver to extend his contract with us. However, of course we accept and respect his decision to pursue a new challenge, especially as the whole process was characterised by open and honest discussions.Over the last three-and-a-half years, Xaver has played a key role at RB Leipzig and always gave his all on the pitch."

Schlager lifted both the DFB-Pokal and the DFL-Supercup with RBL in 2023. We owe him a debt of gratitude and naturally wish him all the best for his next chapter."
