Hansi Flick will have his work cut out for him when he officially takes the reins of FC Barcelona
One of the areas he will have to master, with the help of sporting director Deco, is transfers. Given the club’s difficult financial situation, it is essential that the right decisions are made and that there are no doubts.
FC Barcelona will have to resolve the cases of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo in the coming weeks. Both players will return to their original clubs, Atlético Madrid and Manchester City respectively, after Euro 2024, and it is far from certain that the duo will find themselves in Catalonia for a second consecutive season.
Flick intervenes on Cancelo
Felix is unlikely to stay, but Cancelo’s case is less simple. According to Sport, FC Barcelona should consider a second loan to Man City, but Flick is not entirely convinced by the idea of seeing the Portuguese full-back re-signing, as he is concerned about his defensive abilities, which have been put has suffered numerous times in recent months.
Had Xavi stayed, Barcelona would have committed to signing Cancelo, but with Flick at the helm the situation is much murkier. It remains to be seen how they will approach the issue during the transfer window.
