Barcelona are constantly keeping track of the transfer market and are expected to sign multiple players in the summer of 2026. While signing a new defender is certainly on the agenda, Barcelona are also keeping tabs on many attackers, as they look to find more depth on the flanks. One of the players Barcelona are monitoring is Sail El Mala, who has emerged as one of the rising stars in the Bundesliga this season, reports Diario SPORT.

Even if it is true, Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund will not get caught saying too much about the coveted 19-year-old. "I don't want to talk too much about other players, but he's doing really well, he's got great pace. He's developing really well. I also think he can contribute something to the German national team. Julian will have thought this call-up through carefully," Freund told Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Manchester City could face stiff competition from some of European football's biggest clubs if they are to make a transfer move for one of the hottest young talents to have burst onto the scene this year. With the January transfer window approaching, clubs around the continent will be compiling their shortlists for bolstering their sides. That will include Manchester City, who go into their final match before the November international break hoping to close a six-point gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal.

It is TRUE: Reported Bayern target Said El Mala is catching the eye of PSG and Inter Milan. Bayern have him on the list. They're not so afraid of these two clubs. However, we heard in Munich, and this could be interesting for the Premier League, that Manchester City also have him on their list. When City are at the table, Bayern Munich are always aware that things could get a little risky, as the two clubs are playing a similar style and Pep Guardiola is an attractive coach for a young player.

The star of Said El Mala has risen fast. He broke into 3. Liga side Viktoria Köln's first team within months of joining the club as a youth prospect and was snapped up by 1. FC Köln just several months after that. Loaned back to his former side, El Mala enjoyed his first and only full season at Viktoria and used that one season to turn heads and catch the attention of a lot of scouts.
