Barça Flick eyes German U21 star as Barcelona seek new striker

Barça Flick is keen to plug a striking void at Barcelona, and the 22‑year‑old German U21‑Nationalspieler has emerged as a prime target after a string of eye‑catching displays for Club Brugge and the Germany U21 side. His recent hat‑trick against Malta and five goals in nine league games have raised his profile further.

Barcelona's striker dilemma

Barcelona’s attack has been in flux since the summer when the club opted for Gabriel Jesus instead of the promising forward. Nach Informationen der spanischen Zeitung Sport, the Catalans have kept Tresoldi on their radar as they reassess their recruitment plan.

A recent photo by IMAGO shows Tresoldi alongside Nick Woltemade, highlighting the young talent’s rising profile and underscoring the buzz around the German U21‑Nationalspieler.

Transfer terms on the table

Tresoldi is contracted to Club Brugge until 2029, giving the Belgian side a strong negotiating position. Reports suggest a fee of more than 50 Euro million could be required for a move.

Barcelona’s interest, first reported last summer, appears to have resurfaced despite earlier failed transfer plans. The club’s scouting department is reportedly evaluating how the player fits into their long‑term striker plan.

Internationally, the forward captains the Germany U21 side but remains eligible for Italy. He told the DFB after the Malta match, “I started this journey with Germany and I wear the Germany shirt with pride.”

His final decision on senior allegiance is slated for after the U21 Euro 2027, a timeline that could influence Barcelona’s timing. Until then, the Catalans must weigh the high transfer cost against the need for a new goal‑getter.
