Barcelona are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Christian Pulisic, according to Mundo Deportivo. Cristina Cubero of the Spanish newspaper says Barca are closely following the 18 year old who has started to make a name for himself in the Dortmund first team this season.

Although Barcelona are primarily focused on encouraging the promotion of players from their youth setup, president Josep Maria Bartomeu has told his sporting director Robert Fernandez to scour the globe for potential young talent.

One example is the signing of 22 year old Samuel Umtiti from Lyon for €25m in the summer who started the 4-0 victory against Manchester City on Wednesday. Pulisic is one of Europe’s hottest young talents so it is no surprise Barca are keeping an eye on him too.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is however believed to be preparing a move for the American international this summer, according to a report in the Liverpool Echo but it looks likely the Reds will face stiff competition for his signature.
