The 20-year-old centre-back is attracting attention from Europe's top clubs, according to reports from Spain and Italy.
FootVal Newsroom
Multiple outlets in Spain and Italy report that VfB Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch is being watched by several of Europe's biggest clubs, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Juventus all said to have him on their radar.
Marca reports that Barcelona are leading the pursuit and that Real Madrid are also keeping close tabs on the German defender. Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb adds Inter and Juventus to the list, while Football Italia notes that Inter face competition from Barcelona if they were to move for the player.
Jeltsch, who turned 20 this year, is under contract with Stuttgart until June 2030, giving the Bundesliga club strong leverage in any potential negotiation. He has made seven appearances in the current season, averaging a rating of 6.76. His market value and FootVal's valuation both stand at €35m.
No formal bid has been reported by any outlet, and all interest remains at the scouting stage.
