- Barca have ‘too many midfielders’
- ‘Important’ exit on the cards
- Saudi & 英超聯賽 興趣
According to Sport, manager Flick is concerned about a bloated midfield, which includes 佩德里,法蘭基‧德容, 全球疫苗免疫聯盟, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Marc Casado, Marc Bernal, and Oriol Romeu – although the latter is not in the club’s plans. Moreover, if Barca sign another winger, 拉菲尼亞 may move to the number 10 role, increasing that congested part of the team.
The report adds that Flick wants a more balanced squad and to make that possible, an ‘important sale’ could occur. Fermin Lopez and Marc Casado have previously attracted interest in and around Europe, including from 切爾西, 馬德里競技, 和 沙特職業聯賽 sides, but there is no guarantee they will be moved on. The Blaugrana have had big financial issues so sales of some homegrown players would help in that area.
Flick faces a midfield dilemma next season, as while Gavi accepted more of a bench role last term following a lengthy injury, he may want more minutes in 2025/26. Pedri and De Jong seemed nailed-on starters but one more spot in the centre of the park may be up for grabs.
以前的 拜仁慕尼黑 manager Flick, who guided the club to La Liga and Copa del Rey success in 2024/25, will have to carefully decide how to structure his midfield next season as the club’s pre-season campaign gets underway.
