Barcelona eyeing a swoop for Liverpool’s 22-year-old target

According to a report published by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are interested in signing Liverpool and Juventus target Leon Goretzka from Schalke.

Goretzka starred at the Confederations Cup in June which Germany won and January could be a good time to swoop for him considering that his current contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

It has also been reported that officials from Barcelona were watching the 22 year old in action during their Bundesliga outing against Mainz.

It is said that Goretzka’s agent Jorg Neubauer wants to find out whether Barcelona want to sign his client in January as Bayern Munich are also interested. The chances are very high that Goretzka will leave in January or at the end of the season.

It however remains to be seen which club he will join. At the moment it looks like it will be a battle between Bayern and Barcelona.
