Barcelona and Real Madrid aim to sign Eintracht Frankfurt youngster Nathaniel Brown

Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has revealed Barcelona and Real Madrid as two of the teams continuously monitoring Brown this season. As per a report from Barca Universal, it was disclosed that both teams have registered solid interest in the 22-year-old Germany international despote being stocked at left-back.

Nathaniel Brown has gone through a great form in Germany so far, amassing one goal and giving three assists in 18 outings across all competitions this season. His performances have earned him a place in the scheme of things of Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann, as he made his senior international debut earlier this year.

Barcelona will have a chance to watch Brown first-hand when Frankfurt visit the Spotify Camp Nou in the UEFA Champions League next week. The Spanish team have Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin as their senior options, but they have not been a team to turn down opportunities for improvement.

Real Madrid have three senior left-backs on their squad after the summer addition of Alvaro Carreras to join Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia. Los Blancos are, however, still monitoring Brown, as they could move on a player or two in his position in the coming months.

Barcelona capitalises on Real Madrid's loss to top LaLiga standings

Barcelona ended matchday 14 of the 2025-26 LaLiga season atop the table after Real Madrid dropped points against Girona. The defending champions defeated Alaves 3-1 at the Camp Nou on Saturday.

Xabi Alonso's team dropped points in a third consecutive league game after their 1-1 draw against Girona on Sunday evening. The result means they have failed to register wins against Rayo Vallecano, Elche, and Girona either side of the international break in November despite Kylian Mbappe being in an exceptional form this season.

Barcelona's win against Alaves put them at the top of the league table by just two points, and they saw their lead cut to one point 24 hours later. They have collected 34 points from 14 games this season, one more than Real Madrid and two more than Atletico Madrid in third position.
