RB Leipzig Enquire About Everton Striker Thierno Barry

Leipzig's Champions League status and data-led scouting have made the club's approach significant because it could force Everton to recruit a new forward.

Overview

Reports on Thursday say RB Leipzig have formally contacted Everton to ask about the availability of 23-year-old striker Thierno Barry.
Barry joined Everton last summer for an initial £27 million, played in every Premier League match this season and scored eight league goals.
Leipzig qualified for next season's Champions League and use a data-driven recruitment model that the club believes could attract Barry to Germany.
Everton have not received a firm bid and still view Barry as an important player for manager David Moyes, yet the club is preparing for possible departures.
To cover a potential sale Everton are exploring forward reinforcements, including interest in a loan for Liam Delap, and sources say a fee close to Barry's initial £27 million could secure a transfer.
