<p>According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/videos/viral/20241222/1002375876/video-troleo-dandy-barcelona-sorteo-loteria-navidad.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>, Barcelona are keeping tabs on the 17-year-old Bosshardt as they look to strengthen their defensive options. Reports in Brazil suggest Hansi Flick's side have made 'initial contact' with the left-back's entourage to assess the possibility of signing him.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds that first-choice Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde puts in 'irregular' performances and has been 'stagnant' in recent months. Moreover, Gerard Martin and Hector Fort are struggling to usurp him in that starting role, therefore, they have looked to young Bosshardt. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite being highly-rated, the youngster is yet to make his first-team debut for Sao Paulo. His contract with the Brazilian giants currently runs until the end of August 2026.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barcelona do not have long before they can dip into the transfer market as the January window is less than a week away from opening. But a Bosshardt signing may not come to pass next month.</p>
