FLICK HAS MADE A REQUEST TO BARÇA
The 'unexpected' signing that Hansi Flick could ask Barça for
According to information from SPORT, Hansi Flick is considering signing a full-back who can play on both the right and left flanks to serve as 'competition' for Joao Cancelo and Alejandro Balde.
They have been many the informations that has left the first week of work of Hansi Flick in Barcelona. It foresees that the trainer will take several key decisions when it gather with his players in the pre-season, during the first weeks of July, but already have taken out the first conclusions of the staff and would be considering the incorporation of a side that was able to play (and surrender positively) in the two bands, according to an information of the newspaper SPORT.
A priori, the Barça has Joao Cancel and Alejandro Balde like the sides titled for the next season. For the moment it has not negotiated an agreement with the Manchester City for the continuity of the Portuguese in conditions very similar (or identical) in which it is now, but think that will achieve it more advance. In the case of Balde, are expecting to see how goes back of the injury in the sinew of the isquiotibial of the right thigh that suffered in January and that forced him to go through the operating theatre and lose all the second stretch of the season.
In any case, is not a secret for anybody that the footballer formed in The Masia was not having a big performance and that was very 'far' of the version that had offered in his first year in the elite. In fact, before lesionarse already Xavi Hernández had left him in the bench so that I Cancel played in the left-handed band. The Barça has to study the conditions in which it goes back and if it can be a player determinant.
The stage that has by in front Hansi Flick with the signings
In any case, for the moment both footballers split like the sides titled for the 24/25 but with adjust to his position and offensive works if Flick finishes changing the drawing of the team. It thinks that they are two players that can contribute a lot and that, very positioned and 'limited', can be important. However, want to more. The before quoted source establishes that it would like him have a player 'extra' that it can serve of competition and put 'pressure' to the two footballers so that they offer his best version.
In the Barça already have left him know that everything will depend of the Fair Play financial and the solutions that find the directive, although already they would have promised him signings. In such a case, after the 'proofs' of pre-season and with LaLiga already initiated, would look for in the market a side ambidiestro that already have experience competing in the maximum category. It will not be a simple task, by what also have invited him to 'look' what already there is in the staff: Jules Koundé that it can play in some occasions like side, although they prioritise him like head office, Héctor Fort that already has played in both profiles or the cases of Álex Fence in and Julián Araujo, those who returned of his respective cessions this summer.
