Hansi-Dieter Flick can help Barça close two signings that may seem practically impossible due to their high cost , and due to the enormous competition that will exist in the auction to obtain their services. But his presence on the bench, as Xavi Hernández’s successor, would be a point in favor of approaching both, and having more options to recruit them. So this gives him more points to end up being chosen by Joan Laporta, who keeps him on his list of favorites, along with Roberto de Zerbi.
The first galactico who would be ready to end up wearing Blaugrana to coincide with his compatriot again is Florian Wirtz . This year he has emerged as a global phenomenon, and as one of the fittest footballers on the planet. He is the main figure of Bayer Leverkusen , which is breaking all kinds of records, and is the sole leader of the Bundesliga. And Xabi Alonso has managed to exploit all the potential he treasures in his boots.
At 20 years old, he’s receiving a ton of accolades, and he’s managed to put behind him the serious knee injury he suffered a couple of campaigns ago. The 10 goals and 17 assists he has accumulated in all competitions are a sensational statistic, and Hansi’s intention is to bring him to the Camp Nou, to ‘retire’ Pedri González, who has not yet gained the confidence of the German coach, due to his irregular level and the constant injuries he has suffered.
But the ex-Köln man, who made his debut in the German national team, is not the only star with whom Flick hopes to work again. And he also wants to have under his command Joshua Kimmich , who is the great dream of Barça to strengthen the defensive pivot, a position that has been orphaned since the departure of Sergio Busquets to Inter de Miami of the Major League Soccer. No one has been able to cover his loss, and the Bayern Munich star is Deco’s priority target.
His contract ends in 2025, and he can leave the Allianz Arena for a reasonable price. But it is also on the agenda of large entities. Luckily, with the German as coach, Laporta would have more chances to convince the 29-year-old midfielder.
And apart from the additions of Kimmich and Wirtz, Flick can achieve a completely unexpected return to Barça. Because it has been leaked that he met a few days ago with Domenèc Torrent, who was Pep Guardiola’s assistant, and who is now free, after managing Galatasaray, Flamengo or New York City.
