FC Barcelona, looking for a solution after the departure of Sergio Busquets, saw their coach Hansi Flick block any recruitment in midfield. According to Sportthe German prefers to rely on young people from the club like Marc Bernal and Marc Casado.
Bernal, despite a cruciate ligament injury, remains the club’s future in this position, according to Hansi Flick, who also trusts Casado, Frenkie de Jong, and even Eric Garcia or Andreas Christensen to cover this defensive role.
Flick focuses on youth and abandons winter recruitment
Barça’s management, with Deco at its head, had explored avenues to strengthen the sector with players like Mikel Merino, Amadou Onana or even loans from Romeo Lavia and Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea.
However, Flick decided not to pursue these options. The Blaugrana manager prefers to offer playing time to young people from La Masia, notably Gavi and Fermin Lopez, rather than looking for external solutions.
