Barcelona has shown interest in Leon Goretzka of Bayern Munich as a secondary option to strengthen their midfield, contingent upon their financial situation being resolved by December 27. However, no negotiations can currently take place.

Leon Goretzka is eager to secure his future at Bayern Munich, although he would consider a move to Barcelona if he departs. Goretzka has been a polarizing figure at Bayern in recent years and was already a topic of speculation before new manager Vincent Kompany chose to exclude him from the matchday squad for the DfB Pokal match against SSV Ulm. Despite the mounting pressure to exit, Goretzka remains hopeful of regaining Kompany's favor.
