This first season of Hansi Flick at FC Barcelona ends with joy and victory. For his last of the season in La Liga, the Spanish champion moves on the lawn of Athletic, already with his thoughts shot next year. He did not miss much to the Catalans to achieve an incredible liga-cum-cottage of the Champions King-Ligue. The club can be satisfied with having made up solid bases for the next exercise where Flick will have desired reinforcements at its disposal. It was the main subject of this last press conference on the watch last match of the year.
There was a question of transfer window and needs for a long time. “I think the most important thing is that the most important players remain and that we guarantee the future of Barça. I talked about it with Deco, and he knows what we could need and what we have to strengthen. We discuss a lot and are on the same wavelength »assures German. On the front line, there is of course this burning extension of Lamine Yamal, everyone agrees that it will take place but that we have been talking about it. “I have total confidence. I trust Lamine, he knows. He is a player who loves to play at Barça. ”
Flick tackles the fat question
The speech remains the same therefore for the one who, according to our information, recovered the number 10 next year, left vacant by a certain Ansu Fati. The former big hope of the club is leaving for AS Monaco on the basics of a loan with option to buy. He even agreed for this departure to the rock. The Blaugrana technician did not wish to confirm during this press point. “It is not me who decides. He has a contract (2027, editor's note) and he will make the appropriate decision. When the time comes to discuss it with me, we will. It's his decision. “ There is no doubt that he will not oppose his departure since he has only counted on him this season (11 appearances).
Another player announced on the start after losing his place this season, Ronald Araujo (26). The central defender extended six months ago to possibly leave Barça. Flick would like to see him continue the adventure and strengthen competition in central defense. “”He signed his contract renewal and I am convinced that he will be with us. The season was difficult, especially at first, but he was able to come back. Íñigo (Martinez) and Cubarsí have made a fantastic season, but Araújo can bring us a lot.The Uruguayan is an integral part of the project of his coach.
“”Rashford and Díaz are fantastic players»»
And then there are the possible recruits to come which were discussed. For several weeks now, the names have been having been to reinforce the left side of the attack and come to compete with a slightly lonely raphinha in this position. Marcus Rasfhord is regularly quoted – he would like to come from elsewhere – but it is above all the profile of Luis Diaz who returns with insistence lately. “I don't want to talk about players who are not part of my team. Both (Rashford and Díaz) are fantastic players, so we'll see. ” For the Colombian, it will be necessary to convince Liverpool who is not a seller, except at an exorbitant price.
