Bayern Munich has secured its future with a key announcement. Jamal Musiala has renewed his contract until 2030, closing any possible exit. With this decision, Bayern makes it clear that he will be their great reference in the coming years.
This news is a blow for Hansi Flick, who dreamed of having him at Barcelona. The coach was confident in bringing him to lead his new project. However, with Musiala off the market, Barça will have to look for other options.
Flick Wants Talent for Barça
The German coach doesn't give up and continues to insist on strengthening his squad. His priority is an attacking midfielder with exceptional quality. He knows that great talents come at a high price, but he believes the effort is worth it.
Barça's sports management is already exploring alternatives. There is quality in the current squad, but Flick wants a top-level '10'. He wants a star capable of making a difference alongside Pedri.
A Creative and Decisive Profile
The chosen one must be a footballer with vision, technique, and the ability to lead. He must fit into the possession and combinative play style. Additionally, Flick is looking for someone who can take responsibility in key moments.
The market offers few options with that profile. However, there is one name that stands out above the rest. An attacking midfielder who is already key in his team and has a bright future.
Florian Wirtz, the Great Bet
Barça's main target is Florian Wirtz. The Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder has established himself as one of the greatest promises in European soccer. Since his debut, he has been an essential piece in Xabi Alonso's scheme.
At just 21 years old, Wirtz leads the offense of a team fighting for the Bundesliga. His ability to assist, score, and generate play makes him a unique talent. Flick considers him the ideal complement for Pedri in the midfield.
A Footballer with Barça DNA
Wirtz has never hidden his affinity for Barcelona. In several interviews, he has expressed his admiration for Leo Messi. Additionally, he recently highlighted Lamine Yamal as the best footballer currently.
Since he was young, he has had photos with the Barça jersey. His style fits perfectly with what Barça is looking for. The idea of seeing him form a partnership with Pedri excites Flick and the fans.
The Economic Challenge and Real Madrid
The main problem is his price. Bayer Leverkusen won't let him leave for less than 150 million euros. Barça will have to make a great effort if they want to sign him.
Additionally, Real Madrid is also closely following Wirtz. Florentino Pérez could launch an offensive for the German attacking midfielder. The battle for his signing is on.
Barça, Facing a Key Decision
Hansi Flick is clear that Wirtz is the ideal target. Without Musiala, his priority is to bring the Leverkusen star. The operation won't be easy, but Barça knows it could be a historic investment.
With Pedri and Wirtz, the midfield would have a spectacular combination. The next transfer market will be decisive for Barça's future.
