FC Barcelona continues working on planning their squad for the next season, and Hansi Flick has clear priorities. With Deco leading the sports management, the club seeks to strengthen the forward line and midfield with young, top-tier talent.
Although signing a winger remains the top priority, Barça is also alert to market opportunities, and there is one name that stands out above the rest. It is one of the greatest promises in world soccer, a player that the blaugrana club sees as the future star of the team.
The signing of this talent represents a market coup, as many consider him even better than Jamal Musiala, who recently renewed with Bayern Munich.
Barça Seeks a Top-Tier Winger
Deco has been working for months on bringing in a winger to strengthen the left flank. The club is considering three major names:
- Luis Díaz, Liverpool's winger, stands out for his explosiveness and dribbling ability.
- Rafael Leao, AC Milan's star, combines power and technique, but his signing would be very costly.
- Nico Williams, from Athletic Club, is the most accessible option due to his release clause.
Barça hasn't made a definitive decision yet, but they don't rule out going for one of these players in the summer.
Musiala Renews with Bayern Until 2030
One of Hansi Flick's dreams was to reunite with Jamal Musiala at Camp Nou. The young attacking midfielder from Bayern was out of contract in 2026, and Barça had been following his situation for months.
However, the German club has managed to renew him until 2030, frustrating Barça's plans. Musiala will remain Bayern's great star, which forces the blaugrana club to seek a top-tier alternative. But Flick doesn't give up and already has a new target.
Barça's Other Major Signing
Although Musiala won't arrive, Barça has shifted their focus and now has Florian Wirtz in their sights. The German attacking midfielder is one of the most unbalancing players in Europe, and his signing would be a coup for the project.
Wirtz, 21 years old, has been one of the great sensations of the Bundesliga. Leading Bayer Leverkusen with goals, assists, and exceptional game vision. His talent has sparked the interest of several European giants, but Barça wants to get ahead of everyone.
According to "El Nacional.cat," Hansi Flick will play a key role in the negotiation. The German coach knows Wirtz well and could convince him that Barça is the best destination for his future.
Bayer Leverkusen won't let their star go easily, and his price could exceed 100M euros. However, Barça will look for ways to make the operation viable, such as significant sales in the summer or a structured negotiation in deferred payments.
If Barça manages to close the signing of Wirtz, they would add the best young attacking midfielder in European soccer, a key piece for their future. Although the operation will be difficult, the blaugrana club is determined to do everything possible to bring in their new offensive leader.
Florian Wirtz is the chosen one. Now, Barça must move quickly to make their dream a reality.
