"Koulierakis was a long-term investment for Wolfsburg, who signed him from PAOK for close to €12 million in 2024. Since then, he has become one of the standout centre-backs in the German league. The 22-year-old is a left-footed defender, and his passing range, ability to play out from the back and vision are among his main strengths. He is quick and shows clear leadership qualities. Liverpool have already shown interest in the Greek star, although everything suggests that he will not leave before the summer."
"The other player under consideration is Luka Vuskovic. Tottenham signed him last January for €12 million from Hajduk Split and loaned him to Hamburg, where he has made a major impact. So much so that his valuation has risen to €40 million in just a few months. Vuskovic is right-footed, although he can play across the defensive line. He is strong, has good vision and an exceptional level of potential."
FC Barcelona are intensifying the search for a new centre-back to cover Andreas Christensen's injury and to add a top-quality option in summer 2026. The club aims to progress on at least one of two planned signings but faces limitations because of its salary situation. The scouting department is monitoring potential targets and has identified two Bundesliga options: Konstantinos Koulierakis of Wolfsburg and Luka Vuskovic, on loan at Hamburg from Tottenham. Koulierakis is a 22-year-old left-footed defender noted for passing, vision and leadership. Vuskovic has risen rapidly in valuation, is versatile, strong and highly potential.
