Atalanta defender Robin Gosens is unaware of any interest from Barcelona but suggested he is open to discussing a move now that Germany s Euro 2020 campaign is over.
The left wing-back produced one of the standout performances of the tournament with a goal and an assist in Germany s 4-2 victory over Portugal in the group stage.
He started all four of his nation s matches, including 87 minutes of the 2-0 loss to England that brought an end to their campaign at the last-16 stage.
Only Joakim Maehle, Thomas Meunier and Luke Shaw (all three) have played a direct part in more goals among defenders than Gosens so far at Euro 2020.
The two big chances created by the 26-year-old, meanwhile, is behind only Jordi Alba and Shaw (both four), which includes that assist for Kai Havertz s goal against Portugal.
Gosens only made his senior debut for Germany last September but soon nailed down a regular starting spot after starring for Atalanta in the 2020-21 campaign.
With 11 goals and six assists, Gosens topped the Serie A charts for direct goal involvements among defenders, with Achraf Hakimi two back on a combined 15 goals and assists.
That form has led to rumours that the former Vitesse man is a target for Barcelona as a long-term replacement for ageing full-back Jordi Alba.
And while Gosens has yet to discuss his future with his agent, he has not ruled out a move away from Atlanta during the current transfer window.
We ll have a look now. During the European Championship I told my dad [and agent] that he should just leave me alone with the topic, Gosens told Sport1.
Now I m back home again, I ll talk to him and see if something is on the program.
I m not lying when I say that I don t know anything about it at the moment. My entire focus was on the Euros. When something happens, let s see.
Asked if it would be special to play alongside Lionel Messi should the Barcelona forward sign a new deal, Gosens said: That s the way it is. You can definitely record it that way.
Gosens joined Atalanta from Heracles in June 2017 and has another two years to run on his existing contract.
