FC Barcelona hopes to recruit Nico Williams before the start of the 2025-26 season, and everything suggests that he will arrive from the Athletic Club. If this is the case, it would have repercussions on two of his future teammates.

Hansi Flick would be delighted to see Williams join the club because he considers it an excellent choice for the position of left winger. According to MD, he is holder in this position, Raphinha being planned to evolve in a more central role.

Dani Olmo will be the favorite striker for FC Barcelona

Lamine Yamal would continue to evolve on the right wing, while in attack, Dani Olmo should occupy the post of false number 9. This would mean that Robert Lewandowski would be less requested, according to another article by MD. This seems logical, since Barcelona hopes to separate from him at the expiration of his contract in the summer of 2026.

Lewandowski scored 42 goals in 52 appearances last season, but doubts remain as for its performance level outside of its offensive yield. And as he will be 37 years old in August, we expect him to continue to regress, which is why Barcelona does not want him to be regular next season. This also means that his physical condition can be better managed, even if he has shown very few weaknesses in this regard in recent years despite his age.

Lewandowski monitored

Like Lewandowski, Fermin Lopez should also be used less next season. The 22 -year -old, who has aroused significant interest in the transfer market in recent weeks, is said to be behind Raphinha and Olmo as central attacking midfielders, and behind Williams and Raphinha on the left wing, where he was also used in the last 12 to 18 months.

Despite this, Flick will continue to appreciate the two players and want them to stay in its workforce for next season.
