RB Leipzig: Barcelona talent Ángel Alarcón in focus

19 year old left winger

According to a report from Spain, RB Leipzig is interested in transferring 19-year-old left winger Ángel Alarcón from FC Barcelona. After the deal with Granada’s Bryan Zaragoza, who will join league rivals FC Bayern (background), fell through, the Saxons have identified the 1.75 meter tall right-footer as an alternative, writes the “Marca“.

Alarcón is considered to be flexible in attack and has long enjoyed a reputation in the Blaugrana environment as being the next big talent after Gavi, Pedri & Co. However, the seven-time U19 national player, whose contract runs until 2025, has regularly been set back by injuries in the past. Last season, Alarcón made four LaLiga appearances in coach Xavi’s team; in the current season, after recovering from a torn muscle and a thigh injury, he has made six appearances in the Catalans’ second representation.

RB is said to have had the youngster, whose market value is estimated at 300,000 euros, in focus for a long time, as he fits the requirements profile well in terms of age and potential. Information from the portal “Sports1“According to this, the interest from Saxony is less concrete than reported from Spain.

TM rumor mill: Is Barcelona’s Alarcón moving to RB Leipzig?

The rumors about Alarcón have also been discussed in the TM rumor mill since Friday evening. “I saw the player in the Youth League game against Bayern last year. He gave Bayern two goals and played more centrally up front. Was technically very well trained and also very intelligent. Apparently also versatile in offensive use. Maybe it will be an anticipation of summer. (…) If the transfer fee is manageable, it could be a transfer for the future,” shares user “Mhesse85” in his assessment.

User “pereos” attests: “It would be a good transfer phase if you first signed Elmas from SSC Napoli and then Alarcón from Barça. All joking aside: The boy would of course be a long-term project. But it’s better to build your own player instead of Carvalho for Liverpool. At the same time it would expand the tactical options.”
