Barcelona are shopping in the Bundesliga for a new midfielder.
Barca chiefs recognise they need to find midfield competition for Sergio Busquets, with the Spain international their only recognised midfield anchor.
Two young Germans under consideration are Julian Weigl and Joshua Kimmich.
Barca are attracted to Weigl as he is very similar to Busquets. However, Real Madrid have an option on the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
Kimmich, meanwhile, is under consideration thanks to the Bayern Munich youngster's versatility.
