Hansi Flick could trigger up to five departures in this transfer market of FC Barcelona that will accelerate in these last days of the market. Marc Casadó, Héctor Fort, Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong, and Jules Koundé have their continuity in doubt, according to information from José Álvarez on El Chiringuito, while Deco is working to use these departures as a way to bring in two defensive reinforcements.

Barça faces the final week of the market with a still open squad. The plan is to reduce players who have lost prominence in the coach's decisions and use the space generated to strengthen a defense that might still undergo modifications before closure.

Hansi Flick puts five departures on the table

Marc Casadó and Héctor Fort are two of the most advanced cases. Casadó has been excluded from the main team dynamics and has attracted interest from various English clubs, while Fort has also lost ground in Hansi Flick's plans for this season.

Alejandro Balde is also on the list. The full-back was omitted from the squad against Elche at the start of LaLiga, a decision directly made by Flick. The coach aims to increase competition in the position, and the player's future has become another matter to be resolved during this final week.

The situation of Jules Koundé has also evolved. The Frenchman knows that Eric García is the first choice for the right-back position and that his minutes may mainly come as a center-back. Even there, his starting spot is not guaranteed, so FC Barcelona would consider a financially satisfactory proposal.

The fifth name is Frenkie de Jong. The Dutch midfielder is once again part of an exit operation that could lead to significant movements in midfield. His situation awaits the events of the coming days and the proposals received at the club's offices.

Deco prepares two defensive reinforcements

Potential sales directly impact Deco's plans. According to information from El Chiringuito, the goal is to make two defensive signings if enough departures are realized during this final stretch of the market.

The final number of operations will also depend on the available space in the squad and the financial margin created. Barça has already made changes in the full-back positions this summer but is still considering further adjustments to align the defense with the preferences of the German coach.

Deco is compelled to work simultaneously on arrivals and departures. Not all five highlighted players have an equal chance to leave, but José Álvarez suggests that three are particularly close to exiting the club, while there are more uncertainties regarding the other two.

The window to resolve these matters is narrow because LaLiga has already started, and the market is entering its final days. Each departure could also alter the team's subsequent needs and determine which positions the sporting direction will reinforce.

Hence, the upcoming week will define Hansi Flick's final squad. FC Barcelona must settle the futures of Casadó, Fort, Balde, De Jong, and Koundé while Deco aims to complete two defensive signings before the market closes.
