FC Barcelona is about to welcome its new coach: Hansi Flick. According to several Spanish and German media, an agreement has been reached between the La Liga club and the German tactician, who should quickly sign a two-season contract with the Blaugrana. One less file to manage for the Catalan management, which will experience a complicated summer because of its particularly tense financial situation, the financial fair play of La Liga not helping.
Due to these financial problems, it is very likely that Flick will not be able to count on certain players from the current squad during pre-season and then at the start of the championship. Many players are thus announced on departure; among them, Ronald Araujo, Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong. Three players who have a good market value and who could serve as a bandage for the club’s accounts.
Thiago Silva’s replacement
And as indicated Mundo Deportivo this Thursday, a first offer arrived. It concerns Ronald Araujo, who had been coveted by Bayern for months already. But the proposal does not come from Bavaria but from London, since it was Chelsea who knocked on the door. The London club wants to make the Uruguayan the replacement for Thiago Silva. The Premier League team has not yet made an offer to Barça, but has already contacted the player to express their interest.
With, unsurprisingly, substantial emoluments and a guaranteed starting position. It must be said that things have changed a lot for Araujo since this return match against PSG. Once considered non-transferable, the Uruguayan was slightly downgraded following this expulsion, which, for many, was the main reason for the elimination of the Barcelona side in the quarter-finals. The explosion of Pau Cubarsi at his side also took away his status as a future defense captain. From now on, Chelsea will have to come to an agreement with Barça.
