It’s the start of a new era at FC Barcelona. Hansi Flick took charge of the team after a rather complicated season, marked by all this uncertainty around the future of Xavi, who was ultimately dismissed by Joan Laporta.

The German knows it, he arrives at a club which is going through difficult times. And inevitably, he will have to be content, barring any surprises, with a fairly austere transfer window. Barça is tied down by the financial fair play of La Liga which currently prevents it from recruiting without having collected large checks first.
