Demichelis interested in bring Samú Costa to RB Leipzig | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are still hot in pursuit of RCD Mallorca star Samú Costa, based on Sky Germany's sources.

The 25-year-old was already high on Leipzig’s extended list of central midfield targets prior to the pursuit of Demichelis.

Since Demichelis' appointment, the Portuguese player has moved up the rankings somewhat following the coaching change.

The Saxony-based outfit is actively considering him, though Costa is not a specific requirement set by Demichelis.

Rather, the midfielder is simply one of several candidates for the position which is reasonably well stocked for next season.

While the situation could heat up, it hasn't reached that stage yet. RB has been monitoring the World Cup participant for some time.

Last season, Costa registered seven goals alongside two assists in 34 La Liga outings for the Balearic Island club.
