From the source

Barcelona are monitoring Leeds United centre-back Tarik Muharemovic as Hansi Flick considers options to strengthen his defence. According to TeamTALK (h/t Mundo Deportivo), the 23-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international has attracted interest from several European giants, including the Blaugrana, following an impressive start to life in England.

However, Leeds are reluctant to sell the defender so soon after signing him, and his valuation could rise beyond €70 million ahead of the summer 2027 transfer window.

Barcelona’s defensive injury problems have increased the pressure on Flick’s squad, prompting speculation about potential reinforcements. Finn Jeltsch, the 20-year-old Stuttgart centre-back, has recently been linked with the Catalan club, but Muharemovic has now emerged as another possible candidate.
