Barcelona is preparing to strengthen its midfield in the medium term, focusing on the German player Leon Goretzka, the Bayern Munich star, in a move that represents a strategic opportunity for the summer transfer market, according to the "Fichajes" website.

The deal does not aim for an immediate change to the team, but rather to take advantage of the player's contractual situation after his contract ends in June 2026.

Goretzka recently rejected any loan offers during the winter market, preferring to finish the season with Bayern Munich, which opened the door for Barcelona to closely monitor the player.

Barcelona plans to initiate gradual talks with Goretzka in the coming months to convince him to join for free next season. The club values the player's experience, physical abilities, and skills in competing at the highest European level, which makes him a strong addition to the midfield balance without incurring significant expenses, given the club's current financial constraints.

Goretzka possesses physical strength, the ability to advance towards the penalty area, and experience in major matches, which the Barcelona coaching staff sees as an important element to enhance leadership within the young team. His experience in European competitions allows him to elevate the team's competitive level without affecting its financial stability, making his signing a suitable and fundamental option in the club's future strategy.
