Barça is facing a market planning situation that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. The culés have the central position too much and therefore must decide the future of several players, now with the Hansi Flick assessment

Calendar of FC Barcelona

One of the roads that has the FC Barcelona to reinforce his staff this next summer is with the sale of players and, at least in the theory, the most direct road would be to do it with the exit to varied of the central that will have in the club from the next 1 July. The culés already have the position more than cover at present, but besides will have several players returning of cession in brief, explaining also that in the list can add some canterano.

It is thus that one of the first important decisions that will have to take Hansi Flick when it assume the charge of trainer of the Barça will be the resolve the 'overbooking' that exists in the centre of the Barcelona defence. Right now the Barça has to Koundé, Araújo, Christensen, Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez like natural players in this position, and will add the yielded Eric García and Lenglet once finish his respective holidays.

The FC Barcelona will need that Flick take some fast decisions

To these seven footballers, an impossible quantity to have in a same team along the season, adds him also the more than possible 'promotion' of Mika Faye from the filial culé. Further that the Barça can value internally if it exists or no need to sell, the reality is that Hansi Flick needs to define with which defenders will explain to initiate the next season and who will have to be these footballers that will have to look for some change of airs.

There are points that, in principle, seem very clear for Flick in his arrival. The Barça wanted to retell with Eric García after his big season in the Girona, and by the contrary, will look for now yes give exit of definite way to Lenglet. The French has a very high index card and any option that mean to keep it in the club seems descartada, knowing besides that a cession by third consecutive season would not be precisely the best way to relieve mass salarial.

From there, everything seems that it will remain in hands of a Flick that will have to value if players like Araújo, Koundé, Iñigo and Christensen go in in his plans totally, or by the contrary, there are options that they go out. It is clear that Pau Cubarsí will keep like one of the three main head offices of the team, by what the interrogante main will go through who will accompany him, knowing besides that in the case of Araújo and Christensen, his sales would be a net profit to the entity to the not having investment for amortising.
