Barcelona is reportedly very interested in signing Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch, having sent scouts to monitor him after being impressed by initial feedback, according to Diario Sport. The club is looking to bolster their defense following recent defeats. Jeltsch is valued at €60m. Transfer activity is expected to be limited in the January window.

Transfer reporter Gianluca Di Marzio believes it will be difficult for Barcelona to sign Jeltsch in January due to recent significant summer spending. He thinks a transfer is more likely to happen in the summer. Di Marzio also notes that other clubs, including Juventus, face financial constraints that make a January signing unlikely.

Barcelona's January transfer window is expected to be quiet unless there are departures, following a busy summer with several arrivals. The club's ability to make further signings is constrained by recent expenditure.

Source context

Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch is continuing to be linked with a move to Barcelona as Hansi Flick’s side look to bolster their defence. The club have reportedly already sent scouts to watch Jeltsch in action, with Diario Sport saying Barca are intensifying their monitoring of the defender after being impressed by initial feedback. Signing a defender appears to be back on the agenda after sobering defeats to PSG and Real Madrid, although transfer reporter Gianluca Di Marzio does not expect the €60m-rated Jeltsch to arrive in the winter window. “At the moment, no club in Italy has an eye on Finn Jeltsch. Juventus has financial problems and therefore cannot afford him in January,” he told Wettfreunde.
