Hansi Flick has not wasted time in showing his ambition at the helm of FC Barcelona. After winning La Liga in his first season, the German coach has already stated his top priority for the upcoming season: the Champions League. But for that challenge to become a reality, there is a key piece that, in his opinion, needs urgent reinforcement: the goalkeeping position.

In recent meetings with the Blaugrana board, Flick was clear. To compete head-to-head with the European giants, the team needs a goalkeeper capable of making a difference in critical moments. The internal analysis of the coaching staff, reinforced by what has been seen in this edition of the Champions League, indicates that teams that go far have decisive goalkeepers, like Donnarumma or Sommer.

Flick doesn't trust Ter Stegen

The situation of Marc-André ter Stegen is concerning. Although he is one of the captains and a symbol of the club, his recovery after the knee injury has not dispelled all doubts. His performance, inconsistent in the final stretch of the season, has raised concerns about his actual level to compete at the highest European level.

This is compounded by the situation of Wojciech Szczesny. The Polish goalkeeper has delivered since his arrival in January, but his future remains unclear. Flick values his performance, but does not see him as a definitive solution if Ter Stegen does not return to his best form.

Therefore, Deco is already working following the coach's directive: to find a reliable goalkeeper, with experience in high-pressure scenarios and with potential. Names like Leo Román or Joan García have been mentioned, although the latter could sign for Aston Villa shortly.

The idea is clear: for Barcelona to make the leap in quality it needs in Europe, the goal must be a stronghold, not a question mark. Flick knows it and has made it clear: without a top goalkeeper, there is no 'orejona'.
