Hansi Flick rejects returning to the Bundesliga and prioritizes directing Barça

Lothar Matthäus 'wetted' on the future of Hansi Flick in a talk with 'Sky Sports' Germany. For the ex footballer of the Bayern Munich, the trainer germano is decided to test luck in a league 'top', a posture that confirms the rumours on the interest of the technician of 59 years in replacing to Xavi Hernández in the FC Barcelona, although still there has not been a formal approach between the parts.

"Until where I know, Hansi Flick no longer will work more in the Bundesliga. It is more centred in finding a club abroad", explained the ex German footballer. Flick Has kept very attentive to the movements of the Barça of face to the next season, further of the insistence of the Barcelona directive to try convince to Xavi to remain and to expect at the end of the season to contact to any another trainer for the first team.

The Bayern is not a viable option for Hansi Flick

In spite of the imminent exit of Thomas Tuchel of the Bavarian group and the brutal statistical that the team obtained with Hansi in the bench, in Munich do not see feasible the return of the German trainer, maybe giving by seated his intentions to test luck abroad. "It is possible that anybody in the Bayern trust he to go back to exert of trainer. I would trust he because I know that it is an excellent trainer and an excellent person, but does not have win to go back to train in the Bundesliga", sentenced Matthäus.

However, Lothar left clear that, further of the plans in the short term of the of Heidelberg, in his moment left the open doors to a possible return. This yes, the exits of oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic, with those who the technician had some crossing before his exit in 2021, will not facilitate an approach between the parts. Flick Follows free from his goodbye to the German selection and his priority is to go back to work with clubs this summer.

Flick Will expect until last moment by an offer of the Barça

The trainer of 59 years signed in February happened with Pini Zahavi, Israeli agent with the one who Joan Laporta keeps an excellent relation. This movement was seen by the German press like a step more in his eagerness for approaching to the Barça and, for the moment, the trainer germano follows firm in his plan of not signing with any club until no descartar completely the Barcelona interest.

For the mandator culé, Flick seemed the most viable option does some weeks, but the financial problems of the team aim to an alternative 'low cost'. This reality has put to Rafa Márquez like the ideal solution in the short term, as long as it was impossible to retain to Xavi and the club close the 2023/24 in red numbers, something feasible considering the high probabilities to close the campaign without titles and having banished the possibility to contest the World-wide of Clubs 2025.
