Barcelona targets Leon Goretzka in shock free transfer move to bolster midfield, affected by Frenkie de Jong and Fermin Lopez injuries. The Catalan club is in search of an experienced player to cover the absence of its two first teams, and Goretzka seems to be the perfect option. The German midfielder has experience in the Bundesliga and has won two titles with Bayern Munich, and his arrival at Barcelona could be a blow to the club. However, Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has expressed his disinterest in signing Goretzka, and the club is considering other options to reinforce its midfield. At present, Barcelona is at the top of the league, with 79 points and 9 points of advantage over Real Madrid. The club has its next match scheduled for February 28, 2027 against Athletic Club.
