After suffering a defeat at the hands of Real Madrid by a score of 2-1, it is now time for Barcelona to examine some of the most significant issues that are affecting the team.

The Catalans suffer from a severe lack of depth in the creative department, which is one of their primary areas of weakness. The fact that Pedri was out of commission due to injury contributed significantly to the club’s obvious lack of imagination on that particular night.

In light of this, Barcelona might be one of the clubs that are keeping an eye on the German national team player Florian Wirtz.

Wirtz is being pursued by clubs in Europe.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a number of clubs in Europe are keeping a close eye on the situation that is unfolding in relation to Florian Wirtz.

Romano claims that major clubs from Spain, England, and Germany are among the ones interested in getting the services of the Bayer Leverkusen starlet. [C]lubs from Germany, England, and Spain are all considered to be among the best in the world.

Because Barcelona was said to be interested in making a bid for the German prodigy in the past, one would anticipate that the club’s name would appear on the list.

In point of fact, the Catalans had some level of interest in acquiring Wirtz during the summer transfer window; however, the club was unable to meet the financial requirements necessary to complete the transaction.

What do people think the future holds for Wirtz?

During the summer transfer window, Bayer Leverkusen did an excellent job of preventing Wirtz from signing with another club. The fact that the player is under a long-term deal with the club makes an already difficult situation much more so for Barcelona.

Not to mention the fact that Bayer Leverkusen are having a really successful season in the Bundesliga so far this year. At the now, they are in first place in the league, and it is anticipated that they will finish this gameweek with a two-point lead over Barcelona.

Therefore, insofar as Wirtz is concerned, Die Werkself are in a position of power to negotiate in order to secure a lucrative arrangement for themselves. Many people feel that the price tag for the German might very well approach the figure of €100 million.

If Barcelona continues to maintain a high salary mass, then this could make matters more difficult for the club because they do not have the financial means to pay even half of that sum.

As a result, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise if Barcelona considers another possibility in their pursuit of signing a new attacker in the not-too-distant future.
