FC Barcelona will not pursue another defensive pivot in the upcoming winter transfer market. Hansi Flick requested to sign a '5' for the second half of the 24/25 season, but the club has closed the door on reinforcements in January.

The pivot position is one of the market priorities that FC Barcelona has stopped addressing due to financial 'Fair Play'. For the winter transfer window, the club also does not plan to go for a '5', since they still do not have enough money, even, to resolve the registration of Dani Olmo. Hansi Flick asked the board for an effort, but ultimately they will have to rely on Marc Casadó and Frenkie de Jong, along with Eric García and Andreas Christensen as emergency solutions, to cover a key position where Pedri González has been making a great effort this season, helping in recovery.
