This is who Barcelona have lined up to replace Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez

Barcelona are considering an approach for RB Leipzig duo Dayot Upamecano and Timo Werner as potential replacements for defender Gerard Pique and striker Luis Suarez, according to the Daily Mail.

Technical Director Robert Fernandez is believed to have watched the pair in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, and Mundo Deportivo report that Barcelona have made the two Leipzig players a priority.

Upamecano, signed for £9m from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2017, has been touted as a potential long-term replacement for Gerard Pique. The 19-year-old has made eight Bundesliga appearances for Leipzig, featuring four times in the Champions League this season too.
