Hansi Flick has made a key decision for Barcelona's planning in the upcoming transfer market. The German coach has informed both Joan Laporta and Deco that he does not want the club to invest in a center forward, as he believes there are other positions that require more attention. His intention is for resources to be allocated to strengthen the full-backs and wings, where the team has shown more deficiencies.

Until recently, the Barcelona board was working on the possibility of acquiring a new striker who could compete with Robert Lewandowski and potentially replace him in the medium term. Among the options being considered, Viktor Gyökeres was the most solid candidate due to his performance at Sporting Lisbon and his more affordable price compared to other alternatives like Alexander Isak. However, Flick's stance has changed the landscape, ruling out any move for the Swedish forward.

Flick prefers signings in defense

The German strategist has full confidence in Lewandowski as the team's offensive reference, despite the Pole nearing 37 years of age. Flick believes that his experience and quality remain essential to Barça's scheme and would only accept the arrival of an attacker willing to take on a secondary role, something Gyökeres would not be willing to do. This conviction has led the coach to halt any attempts to sign in that position.

In light of this situation, Barcelona will focus its planning on improving the wings, one of the team's weakest areas last season. Flick deems it a priority to strengthen the full-backs and winger positions, seeking players who bring greater depth and defensive solidity. With this new roadmap, the board will need to reconsider its transfer strategy and redirect efforts towards players who fit the coach's vision.
