Barcelona is seeking to sign a high-caliber star, especially in the midfield, to restore balance to the Catalan team on the offensive and defensive levels in the midfield position.
According to reports received from several newspapers, Barcelona is closely monitoring the star of the season in Europe to sign him as soon as possible, especially with Barcelona’s legendary star Andres Iniesta’s admiration for the player.
In light of this, the Catalan newspaper “Sport” confirmed that Barcelona is interested in Bayer Leverkusen player Florian Wirtz, and the club is looking for some possible formulas to contract with him.
Despite the difficulty of the deal at the present time, Barcelona is optimistic about the possibility of including him in the future, especially after his father and the German’s agent came out to confirm that the player will continue at Leverkusen until 2026, which may be in Barcelona’s favor.
Florian Wirtz’s father gave Barcelona greater hope of including his son, after admitting that the latter would continue at Bayer Leverkusen for the next two years, before deciding his fate after that.
Wirtz (20 years old) is considered one of the most prominent emerging players in European football, and various media outlets link him to the possibility of moving to giant clubs in the old continent, including Barcelona.
The newspaper added that the player received great praise from Barcelona star painter Iniesta, who advised Laporta not to miss the opportunity to sign the player.
