According to Turkish news outlet Sabah Spor, RB Leipzig is among the clubs interested in the talented Christ Inao Oulai.

The report states that the Saxony-based club is closely monitoring the situation of the combative midfielder with the deft touch. 

Besides RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, and Chelsea are also mentioned as potential suitors for the Trabzonspor star.

Despite succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Germany on Saturday, the 20-year-old impressed greatly for Ivory Coast.

In Trabzon, they are very aware of Oulai's strong position and hope will further increase his market value during the 2026 World Cup.

As things stand, Trabzonspor is demanding a transfer fee in the region of €50million, but a bidding war could, of course, increase the price.

If RB Leipzig remains in pursuit, Oulai could potentially become one of the most expensive signings in the club's history.
