Bundesliga giants looking at market options to replace Barcelona target – report | OneFootball

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, RB Leipzig are actively looking for a new player to replace Barcelona target Dani Olmo, who is likely to leave the Bundesliga club this summer.

It has been suggested that Olmo has received a written offer from Barcelona, which includes a six-year contract. Even though Olmo’s current contract with RB Leipzig lasts until 2027, he had a release clause of €60 million that expired recently.

The outlet suggests that Leipzig are known for always keeping an eye on talented players, and they are now focusing on a new potential signing.

Reports indicate that they are very interested in Francisco Conceicao, a 22-year-old winger from Portugal. Conceicao, who plays for FC Porto, is seen as a creative player similar to Olmo.

Unlike Olmo, though, Conceicao is more of a traditional winger, but he operates in the same part of the field and brings a lot of creativity to the game.

The connection between Conceicao and Leipzig adds another layer to this ongoing story. The Portuguese international, who is under contract with Porto until 2029, is also being considered by Juventus as a potential signing.

For Leipzig, Conceicao could be the perfect replacement for Olmo if he leaves. The club has a history of carefully planning its moves in the transfer market, and signing Conceicao could be a strategic decision to maintain their creative strength on the field.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are eager to secure Olmo’s services, but they are waiting to see how much flexibility they have in the transfer market under La Liga’s financial regulations. This uncertainty means that the outcome of Olmo’s potential transfer is still up in the air.

As the situation develops, all eyes will be on Leipzig and their next moves. Whether they manage to sign Conceicao or find another suitable replacement for Olmo will be crucial for their upcoming season.
