Joan Laporta makes RB Leipzig boss as Ronald Koeman replacement

Ralf Ragnick, in turn, is said to be Laporta's favourite to become Barca's next sporting director.

Joan Laporta plans to replace Ronald Koeman with RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann if he wins the upcoming Barcelona presidential election, according to 'very reliable' Sergio Gonzalez as Barca Universal fan site puts it.

What's more, the ex-Barca president wants to appoint former Leipzig manager Ralf Ragnick as the Catalans' new sporting director.

Despite Barca Universal's assessment, we wouldn't be so sure about Gonzalez's reliability.

Laporta, meanwhile, remains keen on Koeman's stay at Camp Nou beyond the current campaign.
