Barcelona Scouts Set to Watch Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah Against Atletico Madrid
Barcelona will closely monitor Bayer Leverkusen stars Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah during tonight’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid, according to ESPN.
The Catalan club has sent scouts to Madrid to observe the duo, as they continue to explore potential reinforcements for next season.
Jonathan Tah: A Defensive Reinforcement?
The German center-back has been linked with a free transfer to Barcelona, with reports suggesting a deal is nearly finalized. If signed, Tah would join a defensive lineup featuring Pau Cubarsí, Ronald Araújo, and Iñigo Martínez, strengthening Xavi’s squad depth.
Florian Wirtz: A Dream Move, but a Pricey One
Wirtz, one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, has previously expressed admiration for Barcelona, but a move won’t be straightforward. Bayer Leverkusen has reportedly set a €130 million price tag for the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, making negotiations challenging.
With strong interest from multiple clubs, Barcelona will need to decide if they can compete financially for Wirtz or focus on alternative targets.
