With Marco Verratti’s transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to FC Barcelona looking impossible, the Blaugrana are looking to other options. In a report from Mundo Deportivo, three German options were mentioned: Julian Weigl (Borussia Dortmund), Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich), and Leon Goretzka (Schalke 04.)
However, the report says Weigl is too similar to Sergio Busquets and therefore not the correct profile, while Kimmich could prove impossible to take away from Bayern. That leaves Goretzka, which MD says is a “top level” target for Barcelona.
