Barcelona technical director Robert Fernandez was reportedly in attendance at RB Leipzig’s clash with Schalke on Saturday to watch Naby Keita and Leon Goretzka.
According to Alex Richards of the Daily Mirror, Fernandez and the club’s head of recruitment made their way to the Bundesliga clash after learning their third bid for Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho had been rejected.
It’s suggested in the piece Barca "continue to search for a long-term heir to Andres Iniesta—whose future continues to be uncertain—and an alternative to Coutinho." Leipzig’s Keita and Schalke’s Goretzka were said to be on their agenda.
