But both may be out of reach
Hansi Flick is set to replace Xavi as Barcelona boss and there’s already plenty of talk about what the club can expect from the former Bayern boss.
Germany legend Lothar Matthaus has spoken about the type of players Flick would love to have at the Camp Nou, although he does admit he might not be able to get what he wants.
“Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala... There are many players he would like to have with him at Barcelona, but they probably won’t be financially viable,” he said.
“He is a bit of a fan of Spain and spent many summers on vacation there with the whole family. I am happy for him after all the setbacks he had with Bayern Munich and the German national team.”
Mathaus also said that Flick is facing a “great challenge” but pointed out that he already knows several of the current first-teamers very well.
“For him it is a great challenge despite the financial difficulties he will encounter in Barcelona,” he added.
“He will meet up with old friends in his new sporting project such as Ter Stegen, Gündogan and Lewandowski. Maybe he will take one or two more with him ‘I don’t know’.”
Flick is set to sign a two-year deal at Barcelona but any official announcement may have to wait until Xavi’s contract has been officially settled.
