Barcelona is having a rough time.

An story from Diario SPORT not long ago talked about how tough it might be for Barcelona to get Florian Wirtz.

There are some things that go well for Barcelona. He is the CEO of Bayer Leveréusen and his name is Fernando Carro. He is from Barcelona. He also gets along with the group and is a part of it.

But even with these things, Barcelona is still having trouble getting Wirtz. A lot of things are going wrong for the club, especially with money..

That’s because Wirtz wants to move to England and will likely cost around €100 million.

That means Barcelona can’t use the way they get along with Carro, and the player is likely to join another team.

Real Madrid is still in the game.

Also, Barcelona needs to be careful because English teams aren’t the only ones trying to sign Florian Wirtz.

Real Madrid, one of Madrid’s major foes, also wants to sign the German player. They want to get better at hitting next summer.

This is why Barcelona might want to look at other choices. The club was mentioned with a move for Leroy Sane not long ago, but it hasn’t happened yet.
