Barcelona are reportedly intent on signing Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch for the next summer transfer window, according to a report from Sport. The 20-year-old German talent has caught the eye of multiple top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Liverpool, and FC Barcelona. Head coach Hansi Flick has reportedly identified Jeltsch as a priority target for the club.
Jeltsch's representatives have reportedly engaged in initial talks with both Barcelona and Inter Milan. The young defender's impressive start to the season has led to his first call-up to the senior German national team during the latest international break, though he did not make his debut. On Transfermarkt, Jeltsch's market value is estimated at €35 million, although Stuttgart may request a significantly higher fee to let him go. A potential transfer fee of up to €60 million has been suggested.
With Jeltsch under contract until 2030, Stuttgart holds a strong negotiating position and has little immediate pressure to sell the promising young player.
