FC Barcelona's season is being a real chaos, because even though they are still in first place in the UEFA Champions League group, the reality is that the last games have left much to be desired. Since the defeat against Real Madrid, Barca lost against Shakhtar, drew against Rayo Vallecano, and miraculously won against Alavés...

Of course, aiming for next season, FC Barcelona strengthen some areas that are currently at a low level. For this, one of the next ones targeted by the board of directors is Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen star midfielder who is shining under Xabi Alonso. Florian, is wanted by Real Madrid as well, as he's one of the biggest talents on the market.

Florian Wirtz has become a key piece for the German team that today leads the Bundesliga with 34 points. Barcelona knows that signing him in the next summer market will not be easy at all and the data provided by Sky journalist, Florian Plettenberg, can confirm this matter. According to him, the price of the German player would be between 120 and 130 million euros, a number that today seems practically impossible for Barça given the financial crisis it is going through these days, although the transfer would not be ruled out so far.

Xavi's self-criticism after drawing against Rayo Vallecano:

"In the first half there was a lack of mentality to win. In the second we changed it, but we are already late. We have to be self-critical with the first half because in the second it was better, but it was already insufficient. From the first player to the last, and I "First, we have to improve and be aware that Leagues are won or lost in these fields."
