Barcelona FC is already planning its next transfer market, and although the sports management led by Deco has the final say, Hansi Flick has made it clear what his priority is: to strengthen the defense with a full-back capable of playing on both sides. The German coach believes that the team needs greater balance in its backline, especially to face high-level matches, and has asked the board for the addition of a versatile player who can perform on both the right and left.
The Catalan club does not foresee a large number of signings due to its financial situation, despite having regained some margin with LaLiga regulations. While Deco prioritizes signing a forward, Flick insists on the need to bolster the defense. In this sense, Jonathan Tah seems likely to join the team as a free agent after his contract with Bayer Leverkusen ends, but the coach wishes to add another defensive reinforcement.
Hansi Flick wants a new full-back
The profile that Barcelona is looking for already has a candidate in its squad: Héctor Fort. However, the young full-back has not had the continuity to fully convince Flick, fueling the possibility of being loaned out in the upcoming season to continue gaining experience.
The question now is what options Barcelona has in the market to meet their coach's request without compromising their finances. The search focuses on a player willing to accept a substitute role, as the positions are clearly held by Jules Koundé and Alejandro Baldé. Under these conditions, the sports management will need to hone in on their choice to find the best alternative without incurring excessive costs.
