Barcelona Eyeing Move for RB Leipzig Midfielder Kevin Kampl Following Frenkie de Jong Blow

Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a move for RB Leipzig's Kevin Kampl following Frenkie de Jong's decision to remain with Dutch side Ajax.

The 21-year-old De Jong, who can also function as a centre-back, had emerged as a late August target for the Spanish champions but has since confirmed that he won't leave his current club this summer.

De Jong is looking to stay with Ajax for at least another year as it will better aid his development, but the Spanish side still retain faint hopes where he is concerned.

Barcelona are, however, looking at Leipzig Kampl as an alternative.
