The player has explained that he has held talks with the German coach, who has given him his full confidence. According to the Catalan press, Hansi Flick has made it clear to the sports management that he does not contemplate his departure and that, if necessary, the sale of Mika Faye, Clément Lenglet or Iñigo Martínez will be a priority.

His versatility to play in various positions (he can be a centre-back, right-back and central midfielder) and his ability to build play from the back line make him a tactically valuable player. In addition, with Hansi Flick the player starts from scratch and will have a new opportunity to show that he has Barça level.
