Diogo Leite of Union Berlin is a transfer candidate for FC Barcelona. The club is reportedly seeking a defender in January due to injuries. While Leite is among the players being considered, Nicolás Otamendi, Stefan de Vrij, and Marcos Senesi are considered the main targets. Leite is a 26-year-old Portuguese defender whose contract with Union Berlin expires in June 2026. He joined the club in July 2023 for a fee reported to be €7.5M. He has made 11 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, and his current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Other clubs linked with Leite include Milan, Bologna, and Fenerbahçe. Union Berlin reportedly rejected offers of €9M in the summer of 2025 when their asking price was around €12M-€13M. A more recent report from December 2025 indicated a planned €6M offer from Fenerbahçe.
