FC Barcelona, ​​specifically Hansi Flick, seems to be considering an experimental option in case the team fails to sign a midfielder in this summer market. This would involve testing Pablo Gavi in ​​the '6' position

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona, although it does not neglect the idea to incorporate a mediocentro in this market estival 2024/25, has established like maximum priority reinforce his left extreme with a player of first level, specifically Nico Williams. In front of this situation, from the Barcelona entity, seems to be considering the idea to strengthen the position of mediocentro with a player of the house.

In this sense, in the breast of the combined Catalan seems to have a candidate that begins to stand out like a solid option to exert this role in case that the picture culé, when finalising the window veraniega of incorporations, do not attain to close the acquisition, already was of the mediocentro more commented in his diary, Mikel Merino, or of another alternative 'covered' that it can have.

As it suggests in 'The Nacional.cat', Hansi Flick has the full conviction that, by his qualities, the 'signing' more adapted for the zone of mediocentros would be Pablo Gavi, the one who would assume an entirely new role once recover of his injury. It is necessary to remember that the forecasts of the club indicate that it expects that the one of The Palaces and Villafranca return between finals of October and principles of November, depending on how seats , since the Barcelonan cast has clear that does not wish to rush his return to avoid possible relapses.

Why Hansi Flick would bet for giving him to Gavi this new role?

This seems to suggest that it would be an experimental solution by part of the German trainer, since the Andalusian, in spite of his impressive physical deployment and his skill to recover balloons and presionar acutely, is used to to be a player accustomed to operate more in the final part of the offensive field. It will be interesting to see how adapts to be one of the pieces in this double pivote and how contributes to the construction of played, taking advantage of his remarkable tactical intelligence.

In this point, this seems to be a solution of emergency, especially considering that the technician germano does not have a lot of options to strengthen this medullary zone. For example, Andreas Christensen, the one who can exert like mediocentro, probably have to act in the saga because of the injury of Ronald Araújo and the absences of Eric García and Pau Cubarsí, that are competing in the Olympic games with 'The Red'.

Likewise, in front of the uncertainty around the injury of Frenkie of Jong and the fault of clarity on the future of Oriol Romeu, Hansi Flick finds with scarce alternatives to make his double pivote. Then, the German could see forced to make this type of experiments. This yes, without descartar some movement related with resorting to a player of the quarry like Marc Casadó.
