RB Leipzig could reduce the price tag for Brian Brobbey amidst Manchester United interest
According to Manchester Evening News, RB Leipzig could decide to reduce the price tag for Brian Brobbey amidst interest from Manchester United for a potential move. The English club has emerged as a potential suitor for the youngster, with Erik ten Hag being keen for a reunion this summer.
Man United have deemed a forward addition a priority after Cristiano Ronaldo revealed his intention to leave in this transfer window. That could force them to actively pursue Brobbey, who is also being targeted by Ajax at this moment.
While Leipzig value Brobbey for a fee in the region of £17million, they could accept a lower sum to get rid of his wages from their books. That could be a possible boost for the Red Devils if they do end up registering their interest in the Dutch starlet ahead of the next season.
Ronaldo to Brobbey?
There is no doubt that the 20-year-old has lots of potential in his bag as he can become a full-fledged superstar with proper support. That being said, Brobbey’s failure in Germany indicates how he needs time to develop, which seriously raises doubts over him being a potential replacement for Ronaldo.
That has caused worries within the fanbase as well, with questions being raised about whether Brobbey could cope with the rigours of the Premier League. Ten Hag has already contacted him to discuss a potential transfer with the boss searching the market for reinforcements in the frontline.
Perhaps, the Manchester side should have an international discussion regarding their pursuit of Brobbey shortly. After all, the arguments made against this signing do hold some weight when using appropriate context. Brobbey could be a good backup option but not someone who could lead the attack right now.
If we successfully keep hold of Ronaldo, then pursuing Brobbey do make sense after Edinson Cavani left the club this summer. If that is not the case, then it would be best to look for options that are a finished product, unlike the Bundesliga ace.

That being said, the German club potentially reducing the asking price certainly favours us as our transfer budget would not be dented to a great extent. Then again, the Eredivisie side would pose trouble to our plans if the Mancunians pay heed to ten Hag’s interest and chase after Brobbey ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Hence, it remains to be seen how this situation will turn out to be in the coming weeks, with Ronaldo’s future possibly influencing Brobbey’s pursuit. So let’s keep an eye out for the talisman and see whether he will remain at Carrington or not moving forward.
