Hans-Dieter Flick has sentenced two Barça players who have no chance of remaining in the squad, and are therefore forced to pack their bags this summer. They won’t even be able to do the pre-season, since the intention is to transfer them earlier. Although in the case of Sergi Roberto, it will not be necessary to find a buyer, since his contract ends on June 30, and he will not receive any extension proposal to renew.
Joan Laporta already intended to get rid of the Spanish international in the past, but in the last two years, it was Xavi Hernández who prevented his departure. He was convinced that he was an important piece in the squad, thanks to his ability to act in different demarcations, and therefore forced the president to offer him a new bond. But with the departure of the Egaren coach, he has been left with no options to continue at the Camp Nou.
The German coach believes that the captain of the first team does not have the necessary level to be part of the squad or help the team, and will have to say goodbye after a lifetime defending the Barça team. At 32 years old, he will try his luck elsewhere for the first time in his career, and all indications are that he will end up in Major League Soccer in the United States. Because it has been leaked that he is in negotiations with New York City.
So he will leave the bracelet free, which a priori must be the property of Marc-André ter Stegen . ‘Hansi’ will also have no mercy with Jules Koundé , another player who had the total confidence and absolute protection of the former Al-Sadd player. He has been one of the footballers who has disappointed the most with his performance this season, and who has worsened the most compared to the previous year. But inexplicably, he remains the undisputed headliner.
With Flick this will end, and the 25-year-old defender will not only cease to be important at Barça, but will be condemned to empty the box office and move to another club.
Deco puts Koundé up for sale for 50 million euros
Laporta and Deco support Flick’s decision, and believe that the best thing they can do is to sell Koundé, for whom they hope to recover the 50 million euros they paid at the time at Sevilla.
In addition, they already have more than enough alternatives in the axis of the rear guard and in the right side, where they hope to retain Joao Cancelo, and Julián Araújo or Héctor Fort apply to be the substitutes.
