Barcelona are watching Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Barca are one of the clubs following Wirtz.

In fact, in an interview around a month ago with BILD, the player declared that when he was little he "always wanted to play for Barcelona. That has not changed, but I still have time until that could arrive".

Bayer are unlikely to let the talented 18-year-old leave this summer after recently extending his contract until 2026. Reports in Germany say an exit would not be possible before 2023.

In addition to Barça, Bayern Munich are one of the other clubs that like Wirtz.
