According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will prioritize the signing of 21-year-old German midfielder Floriane Bartolomeo if their finances are restored and they have large transfer funds.

Wirtz (name)

According to Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona

The club is currently going through a difficult financial period, but is confident that it will soon be able to regain its financial balance and will then be able to make big signings. It is expected that Barcelona will be able to return to the 1:1 rule this season and next season at the latest. Currently in charge of transfers is Deco, who understands that Leverkusen's Wiltz would be Barcelona's first choice if they had the money to make a big signing.

Barcelona have been eyeing Wiltz for some time now, with Deco having followed the player when he was an agent. Barcelona are looking to rely on Wiltz to strengthen their squad in 2025. Wiltz has been a Barca fan since he was a kid, which adds to the possibility of a future transfer.

Of course, Wiltz has also been linked with Real Madrid, in addition to interest from financially strong clubs such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Wiltz will not be leaving the club at least this summer unless there is a major turnaround. Next year, Leverkusen will listen to offers and Barcelona will hope to take him despite asking for a transfer fee that will not be low.

This season, the 21-year-old Wiltz has appeared in 49 games, contributing 18 goals and 20 assists, and he is worth €130 million in the German transfer.
