Red Bull Leipzig plot €30m move for Man United target eyed by Jose Mourinho
Bundesliga outfit Red Bull Leipzig are plotting a move for Galatasaray star Bruma according to reports in Turkey.
Sporx claim that Leipzig are prepared to make a £12 million bid and offer a five-year deal worth a total of £25 million [€30m].
Bruma will have just 12 months remaining on his contract at the end of the season and has yet to sign a new deal.

Galatasaray are keen on the Portuguese ace extending his current agreement and including a £21 million release clause a source close to the player told Turkish-Football.
Leipzig are not the only side interested in Bruma.
The 23-year-old has attracted widespread interest after a brilliant season scoring 10 goals and providing eight assists.
Manchester United recently sent chief Eastern European scout Krsto Kilibarda to Galatasaray’s game against Gaziantepspor last week.
United boss Jose Mourinho has had his eye on Bruma since the pre-season when his side took on Galatasaray in a friendly.
“Mourinho told me he was impressed with my performance and that if I continue I will get back into the Portugal national team,” Bruma was quoted as saying by Turkish-Football last summer.
“Of course it was amazing to hear this from Mourinho and he said he will keep an eye on how I do this season.”
