Wirtz, the great German 'jewel' who yearns for Barça

Florian Wirtz is one of the players 'fashionable' in the Bundesliga. His second season with the first team of the Bayer Leverkusen is confirming the expectations on his talent and teams like the FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid already have advanced contacts for fichar to the youngster 'jewel' of Pulheim. In an interview with 'Bild' recently more than a year, the youngster of 18 years ensured that it would like him play in the Barça, club that follows since it was a boy.

"Always I wanted to play in the Barcelona. This has not changed, but still have something of time until this can arrive", commented Wirtz around the middle of his first complete season in the First German Division. In the 2021-22, the midfield player accumulates 10 goals and 13 assistances in 28 apparitions with the club of the 'aspirins', that leaves third in the Bundesliga, to 14 points of the Bayern Munich. The bávaron lucen with advantage to do with the services of the young, as sucede with the majority of talents of the German football.

In Bavaria compare him with Toni Kroos and already see him like the substitute of the midfield player of the Real Madrid in the selection alemanto. No in vain, in Chamartín also are attentive to the projection of the '27' of the leverkusen, that recently will fulfil 19 years in May. The Bayer has him tied until June of 2026 and will not leave him go by less than 75 million euros, a figure that will increase with the happen of the months if the player continues his current projection.

Florian was the third-youngest player to make his Bundesliga debut and, when he scored his first goal for Leverkusen, he was the youngest ever to score in the German First Division. His versatility allows him to play as an attacking midfielder lying on the left, although he can also perform recovery tasks. In attack he can also function as a '10' midfielder, a position he currently usually occupies in coach Gerardo Seoane's scheme.

Would Wirtz have a place in Xavi's Barça?

Thanks to his characteristics, the 18-year-old player easily adapts to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 schemes, which is why he could easily fit into Xavi Hernández's 'eleven'. A footballer like the German would be a luxury variant for the culé creation, which today depends excessively on Pedri. Gavi and Nico González have done the same when they have to play, but at the moment the one from Tegueste has no replacement in the team. Without a doubt, Wirtz would be a luxury addition for the culé team, since in addition to having the 'Barça DNA', he has more goals than the Blaugrana midfielders.
