One of the worst-kept secrets in football is that Barcelona desperately need a new central defender to bolster Hansi Flick’s squad. Their recent defensive struggles against PSG and Real Madrid have brought that situation back into the limelight.
With Ronald Araujo and Alvaro Cortes leaving in the summer, it is rather inexplicable that the Catalans did not address this position in the market.
Now, according to SPORT, Barça are seriously interested in Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch and could make a move for him in the summer of 2027.
