RB Leipzig are on the lookout for a replacement for Dani Olmo following the Spain international's move to FC Barcelona.
Sky Germany reports that RB Leipzig are considering Olympique Lyon's Rayan Cherki, PSV's Johan Bakayoko and FC Porto's Francisco Conceicao as they look to fill the void left by Olmo.
Asked about the trio, RB Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schröder told Sky Germany:
"The nice thing is that they are good players with good profiles. It's nice when you're confronted with players like that.
“At the end of the day there are a lot of names and of course I won't let the cat out of the bag. We will weigh things calmly. They are definitely profiles that can help us compete at the top.”
Leipzig reportedly received €55 million for Olmo.
