The signing that Hansi Flick has asked Barcelona for
The German coach wants reinforcements in his squad for the upcoming summer
The coach of FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick, already knows the main deficiency of his team: the right-back position. After the match against Inter Milan, where Dumfries dominated the wing convincingly, the German coach has identified that area of the field as the most vulnerable point of his structure.
The superiority of the Italian team on the wings served as a wake-up call. In high-demand European matches, the speed, skill, and strength of the full-backs make the difference, and this is precisely what the Catalan team lacks. Flick has emphasized that the squad is well-built overall, but there is an urgent need for a player who can raise the level on the right side, where makeshift solutions like Ronald Araujo or Eric García playing out of position have been necessary.
Flick urgently wants a new full-back with skill and defensive ability
The goal is clear: to find a dynamic player with pace, physicality, and experience. According to reports from Sport, Jeremie Frimpong fits this profile perfectly, currently with Bayer Leverkusen, although his signing may be challenging due to stiff competition and rising market value. Alternatives like Dodô, Vanderson, or Marc Pubill are being considered, but any deal will only go through if it is financially feasible.
The sports management, led by Deco, is in full agreement with Flick: they will not sign just for the sake of signing. If they cannot secure a proven player, they will continue to rely on youth talent. The summer promises to be calm in terms of transfers, but bringing in a reliable right-back is non-negotiable to strengthen Flick's project and compete effectively in Europe.
