With a frustrating draw (2-2) against Celta de Vigo, FC Barcelona is going through a delicate period despite its status as leader in La Liga. Coach Hansi Flick expressed his dissatisfaction with his team’s recent performances, criticizing in particular the lack of defensive rigor of his players: “We played a very bad match. Too many mistakes and a lack of confidence with the ball. »

Limited room for maneuver

To remedy these difficulties, Flick asked his leaders to strengthen the rearguard from the winter transfer window. According to Sportthe German wants to recruit a right side and a left side to provide depth and dynamism. The names of Marc Pubill (Almeria) and Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) are mentioned, but these avenues could be compromised by the persistent financial problems of the Catalan club. The powerful Canadian left-hander, whom Flick knows by heart, is at the end of his contract in June 2025 and is precisely in the sights of Real Madrid!

With players like Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde in high demand, Flick must deal with a limited squad. If the hoped-for transfers do not materialize, the coach could be forced to rely on the club’s young talents, such as Héctor Fort and Gerard Martin to complete the first team rotation.
