Leipzig are reportedly on the look out for a replacement for the long-term injured Dani Olmo. Max Eberl and the club's front office have, according to Sky Germany reports, prepared to bring in another Spaniard once lauded for having a similar skill set to Olmo in. FC Union Berlin, on the other hand, wish to procure a replacement for the recently departed Genki Haraguchi.
Seemingly aware that such a sensational move would seem to be nothing more than "click bait" for most German football fans, the journalists reporting on the deal have taken special care to note that their information "is not a joke". Though well past his prime, Isco maintains an estimated €9 million worth in the latest transfermarkt listings.
Sky Info: @RBLeipzig beschäftigt sich mit einem Deadline-Day-Transfer von Isco! Aber: Kein Scherz! Auch Union Berlin ist am 30-jährigen Spanier ernsthaft interessiert. #RBLeipzig @fcunion | @Plettigoal @Sky_Marc
