The signing of Xavi Hernández ‘s replacement has become Deco ‘s priority objective . For weeks the sporting director has been studying the market, all existing options, as the decision will be momentous. So far, the coach closest to Barça is Hansi Flick , who has been without a team since his departure from the German national team, although Deco has not forgotten Julian Nagelsmann , who has a contract with the Mannschaft until the next European Cup The German coach does not rule out a change of scenery after the match, in which it must not be forgotten that his selection will be the host, which adds great pressure to his work.
Nagelsmann is on the agenda of several clubs, such as Chelsea and Liverpool , although the coach has never hidden his predilection for trying Spanish football. And Barça fits his profile perfectly, as Nagelsmann is a coach who likes to dominate games through the ball, as well as giving confidence to young talents.
In the contacts that Barça has had with Nagelsmann, the coach has put some demands on the table, since the German considers that the squad needs important changes to be able to fight for the goals of a club of Barça’s level. Nageslmann believes that it is necessary to strengthen the center of the field and the attack, for which he has put 3 signings on the table , always adapting to the economic difficulties of the Blaugrana entity.
The first name is that of Joshua Kimmich , who he knows perfectly well and who would become the new leader of Barça. The second name is already more complicated, since it is Florian Wirtz , the great revelation of the Bundesliga and new star of Bayer Leverkusen . Wirtz wants to play for Barça, so he would make it easier, although the club would have to close important sales to be able to pay the high cost of the midfielder.
And for the attack, Nagelsmann believes that with Lewandowski and Vitor Roque he could move to the front of the attack, although in return he needs a winger. The first name on the list is that of Nico Williams , although the coach is aware that the signing is very complicated, so he has proposed the names of Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman .
On the other hand, Nagelsmann has already dropped the names of two players who are not part of his plans and who could be transferred to get income. The chosen would be Frenkie de Jong , who would be replaced by Kimmich, and Raphinha , whom the coach believes does not have the level to be a starter at Barça. The coach, moreover, would not have problems with Ferran Torres being transferred, as long as the amount received was sufficient for Barça.
On the other hand, the coach sees the defensive line well, although he is aware that Barça will listen to offers for Jules Koundé , who is not signing a convincing season. In this case, the coach believes that a quality right-back should be signed.
