TOP STORY: Leverkusen’s Wirtz on Barcelona’s wishlist
Barcelona are interested in making a future transfer move for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, according to Sport.
The 19-year-old Germany youngster is beginning to recapture his best form since returning from a knee injury that saw him sidelined for almost a year, and he has now contributed to four goals in his last six games.
Wirtz is understood to see a potential switch to the Camp Nou as a dream move, but while the Blaugrana have placed him on their shortlist, they currently have little room in the upcoming transfer window to manoeuvre in — and they are reported to be focusing their efforts on contract extensions and options who are available as free transfers.
The LaLiga side have recently been reported to be looking to reach an agreement over a contract extension with Ousmane Dembele, as well as discussing deals for Sergi Roberto and Sergio Busquets, who are both set to be out of contract in the summer.
