Dortmund and Leverkusen have sent scouts to Spain to evaluate in person Xavi Espart, 19 years old, with the goal of exploring his signing. The Bundesliga clubs are keeping an eye on the Barcelona gem.

As reported by fussball-news, both German entities have intensified their reports on the Barça academy player for the 2027 market, although the player has a contract with the club until June 30, 2028.

Xavi Espart's Performance at Barcelona under Hansi Flick

The 19-year-old academy player made his debut with the Barcelona first team under the guidance of Hansi Flick the previous season and has secured his spot in the lineups for the 2026-2027 season. The defender's performance on the left flank has increased his economic value to 5.00 million euros, as per Transfermarkt's updated metrics.

Internationally, the player has participated in 10 matches and scored 2 goals for the Spanish under-19 national team. His performance in domestic and international tournaments prompted the German representatives to analyze his defensive and offensive contributions.

Dortmund and Leverkusen's Reasons for Tempting the Barça Academy Player

Both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen believe that the 5.00 million euros valuation represents an attractive financial opportunity to enhance their squads. The sporting departments of both clubs are seeking full-backs with attacking capabilities, presenting an offer if the player cannot secure a fixed starting position at Barcelona.

On the other hand, the Barcelona board refers to the validity of the contract until 2028. The Catalan club trusts in the player's continuity in Hansi Flick's rotations to avoid negotiations in the winter transfer window.

The scouting departments of Dortmund and Leverkusen will monitor Xavi Espart's minutes in LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League during October and November 2026. If the technical assessments are positive, Dortmund and Leverkusen's boards will initiate informal contacts with Xavi Espart and Barcelona's representatives throughout December 2026.
