People have obviously noticed Wirtz’s work, and there are a lot of hints that he will be hired again at the end of the season.

Barcelona is one of the clubs keeping an eye on the young attacker, though the operation could be hard.

Barcelona is in a tough spot

A recent article from Diario SPORT talked about how hard it might be for Barcelona to sign Florian Wirtz.

Some things do work in Barcelona’s favor. The CEO of Bayer Levereõusen is from Barcelona and his name is Fernando Carro. He is also friendly with the group and a member of it.

Even with these things, though, Barcelona is having a hard time signing Wirtz. There are a lot of problems for the clú, especially when it comes to money.

That’s because Wirtz is likely to cost around €100 million, and the player himself wants to move to England.

That means Barcelona can’t use the way they work well together with Carro, and the player is likely to go to another team.

Real Madrid is in the running

Also, it’s important to note that English clubs aren’t the only ones trying to sign Florian Wirtz, so Barcelona has to be careful.

Madrid’s fiercest rivals, Real Madrid, are also interested in the German international. They plan to improve their attacking choices next summer.

Because of this, Barcelona might be smart to look at other options in the market. Not long ago, the club was linked with a move for Leroy Sane, but nothing has happened yet.
