FC Barcelona wants to rebuild. And to do this, it has decided to wake up on the transfer market. First, it was necessary to close the file of the coach. After several weeks of rumors, the Catalan management decided to bet on Hansi Flick. The German coach, free since his departure from the German selection, arrives with the heavy task of putting Barça back on the roof of Spain and making it a credible candidate in the race for the Champions League. To do this, the 59-year-old technician did not hide his desire to strengthen on all lines and especially offensively.

Last season, the team led by Robert Lewandowski disappointed in this sector and no one really managed to impose themselves. The loan of João Félix, despite a good start, did not give satisfaction, as did the irregularity of Lewandowski and Raphinha. Finally, the young Vitor Roque who arrived in January, is already on the way out while the club does not really want to keep him. In this sense, Barça has set its sights on Nico Williams, a real sensation of the last Euro. But the Spanish winger who was the priority for the left wing is a very complicated case. And despite fierce negotiations as well as a very concrete interest from PSG, Nico Williams has taken the decision to stay with his training club.

Kingsley Coman, Plan B

In this sense, FC Barcelona, ​​which has already completed the arrival of Dani Olmo, has activated a new track. According to information from Sportthe Blaugranas are now thinking about Kingsley Coman. The Bayern Munich striker is clearly on the way out and has been offered to the Spanish team. At 28 years old, he is looking for a new challenge after a season marked by new injuries and an irregularity that has ended up tiring the Bavarians. The Catalan daily explains that after hoping to sell him, Bayern are now considering a loan.

And this option is bound to please Barça, who do not have a large budget to recruit on the transfer market. Sport also reveals that the new Barcelona assistant coach, Thiago Alcantara, advised Hansi Flick to get the former PSG player back, who is therefore still being followed by his training club. Barça could therefore take action in this case even if the management does not seem to want to completely abandon the Nico Williams case. But the fact of starting to activate a plan B seems to confirm that the Basque winger is a thorny issue…
