Jürgen Klopp sets sights on two Barcelona youngsters | OneFootball

Jürgen Klopp, new Head of Global Football at Red Bull, has identified two members of the youth setup at La Liga giants Barcelona as transfer targets.

That’s according to Diario Sport, citing journalist Sébastien Vidal, who points towards Aleix Garrido and Noah Darvich as the pair in question.

Garrido and Darvich, for those not aware, are two of the most highly-regarded midfield talents on the books of Barcelona.

The early weeks of the season, however, have seen both, for one reason or another, struggle for game-time with Barca Atlètic.

And the aforementioned Klopp, it is understood, is keen to take advantage of as much, by launching assaults for the signatures of Garrido and Darvich alike.

Any such move come with a view to one or both linking up with one of Red Bull’s leading clubs, Leipzig or Salzburg.

Darvich in particular is said to have been identified as a ‘major future project’ by Klopp, with the German’s ongoing excellence at international level having not gone at all unappreciated back in his home country.
