Leon Goretzka’s representatives are understood to be in contact with Barcelona officials over a move to the Camp Nou in the summer according to German outlet Bild.
The German midfielder’s contract with Schalke expires at the end of the season and he has also attracted interest from Serie A duo Inter and Juventus.
He could however make the switch in January instead with Barcelona paying a fee to make his arrival come six months earlier if terms can be agreed. If he is to make a move which involves a fee in January, he and his representatives will pocket 20% of the fee paid by the paying club.
The 22-year-old joined Schalke in a €4 million deal back in 2013 from VfL Bochum and has been an integral part of the Gelsenkirchen based club’s side ever since. He has also began to establish himself in the German national team and was part of their 2017 Confederations Cup winning squad.
