Back from the American tour with FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick was able to get a first glimpse of his squad against Manchester City, Real Madrid and AC Milan. Some players took the opportunity to get noticed, like young midfielder Marc Casadó and new recruit Pau Víctor. Speaking of recruits, this is the only one this summer on the Barcelona side. Blaugranas for the moment although Dani Olmo should follow in his footsteps soon. As a reminder, the 26-year-old Spanish attacker, strong from a remarkable Euro 2024 under the colors of the Roja, will be the subject of a transfer worth 62 million euros including bonuses.
But to recruit, you first have to sell. A mission entrusted to the sporting director of the Catalan club, Anderson Luís de Souza, known as Deco. As part of financial fair play and to lighten Hansi Flick’s squad, the Portuguese will have to find a way out for several Barça players.
A myriad of players with an uncertain future in Catalonia…
The Catalan media Sport has drawn up a list of players likely to leave Barça. In defense, Eric Garcia was registered by the Spanish club for La Liga. His versatility appeals to Flick. Inigo Martinezhe has not been registered, but he is also appreciated by the German technician. With the injury of Ronald Araújohe has a good chance of staying. Which is not the case for Clement Lenglet and of Mikayil Faye. The Frenchman pleases Real Sociedad while the Senegalese is very followed in Ligue 1, as we revealed to you. A departure is also planned for the Mexican Julian Araújo. As for Hector Fort and to Alex Valletheir future depends on whether or not João Cancelo is recruited.
Between, Ilkay Gündogan wants to continue in Catalonia, although there have been rumors of him being sent to Saudi Arabia. Hansi Flick was satisfied with the performances of Pablo Torre during this pre-season. Still according to the Spanish media, the 21-year-old player will stay. In attack, Barça is thinking about selling Raphinha in the event of a significant offer. He, on the other hand, does not want to hear about leaving. Injured in training, Ansu Fati keep Flick’s trust, for now. Vitor Roque still refuses calls from Saudi Arabia. Despite his arrival last January, Deco has already told him that the club is not counting on him.
