We\u2019ve been moving in this direction for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to take the club to the next level and achieve our goals. If we win enough titles, that\u2019s up to me, the club and the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leipzig will face Dusseldorf in their next fixture on Wednesday and a victory would all but seal their place in the Champions League next term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann has stressed that Timo Werner\u2019s\u00a0purported transfer\u00a0to Chelsea is not done yet, but he is wary that his side are set to lose \u201chighly talented\u201d players this season.
