But what about Leipzig? How do they move ahead once their marquee forward decides to jump ship to one of the European elites?<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>With that in mind, we decided to draw up a list of top three possible replacements for Timo Werner at RB Leipzig:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">#3 Mohammed Daramy<\/span><\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The wildcard<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>FC Copenhagen\u2019s teenage sensation Mohammed Daramy may just be 18 years old, but he\u2019s already a man in demand. The Danish forward became his club\u2019s youngest ever goalscorer when he found the back of the net in a cup game against Viby earlier in late 2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Big clubs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/kyrosports.com\/george-floyd-death-liverpool-players-take-knee-in-picture-at-anfield\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Liverpool<\/a> and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly keeping tabs on the youngster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Daramy has played a total of 34 matches this season, wherein his tally of eight goals and six assists has put him on the radar of various big clubs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"G7VA-7i4C6c\"><iframe title=\"Mohammed Daramy \u26bd Skills &amp; Goals 2019\/20 HD\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G7VA-7i4C6c?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>If<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/en-gb\/2020\/03\/18\/report-leipzig-have-already-found-potential-werner-replacement-b\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Leipzig decide to splash the cash on him<\/a>, they would be getting their hands on a raw talent who has the ability to play anywhere across the front line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>With that said, Daramy is still just in his second season as a professional footballer and, therefore, expecting him to replace Timo Werner\u2019s goals could be too much to ask for at the moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">#2 Adam Hlozek<\/span><\/strong> &#8211; <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The intriguing idea<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Another player who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/expected-timo-werner-transfer-rb-leipzig-draw-up-list-of-potential-replacements\/view\/news\/357154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly on the list of possible replacements for Timo Werner<\/a> is Sparta Prague\u2019s Adam Hlozek. The Czech Republic native began his career with Sparta\u2019s youth team before rising to the first-team setup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Since 2018, he\u2019s earned 52 caps at club level, having scored 10 goals in total, out of which six have come this season. Similar to Mohammed Daramy, Hlozek can also play as a centre-forward, or out wide on the wings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"fBP8NXM3FSk\"><iframe title=\"ADAM HLOZEK | Sparta Praha Best Moments 19\/20\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fBP8NXM3FSk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The 17-year-old has been a revelation with many dubbing him as the next big thing from the Czech Republic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Again, he\u2019s a prodigious talent and not an established player unlike Timo Werner, so making the jump to <a href=\"https:\/\/kyrosports.com\/bundesliga-team-of-the-week-gameweek-30\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Bundesliga<\/a> could be too much of a big step. But as Leipzig\u2019s astute scouting network have spotted him, it might be worth taking a risk on the youngster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">#1 Milot Rashica<\/span><\/strong> &#8211; <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The ideal candidate<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The man who is most likely to end up at RB Leipzig this summer is Werder Bremen\u2019s breakout star Milot Rashica. As per <a href=\"https:\/\/onefootball.com\/en\/news\/rb-leipzig-agree-terms-with-milot-rashica-29904244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">various reports<\/a>, the Kosovo forward has impressed those at the Red Bull Arena and hence, he could be the man to replace Timo Werner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Rashica has past experience of playing in the Bundesliga, and with his age of 23, he fits the bill perfectly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In 2019-20, the youngster has racked up 29 appearances for his club across all competitions, contributing with 10 goals and six assists so far.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7NiF7rPWlEU\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>On top of that, Bremen are headed down the barrel, their first relegation in more than 40 years, which means Leipzig could lure Rashica without much of a hassle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It has been reported that the striker has a release clause of \u20ac38 million but according to another clause in his contract, Rashica\u2019s can leave for just \u20ac15 million if Bremen get relegated to the 2.
