Hours separate us from the announcement of the appointment of Hansi Flick as the new coach of FC Barcelona, succeeding Xavi Hernandez, who played his last match with the Catalan team yesterday against Sevilla at the end of La Liga.
The press report from Spain indicates that the veteran German coach has already begun discussions with the Barcelona Sports Administration in order to identify the departed and new deals.
According to SPORT, the first deal that Hansi Flick requested from Barcelona was the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
According to the same newspaper, Hansi Flick received the first strong blow in Barcelona, as Kimmich rejected the Catalan club’s offer for economic reasons regarding salary.
The player currently receives about 19 million euros in total at Bayern Munich as an annual salary, something that FC Barcelona cannot give him due to the salary cap and financial fair play laws in addition to the financial crisis.
