Hansi Flick requests one particular reinforcement to strengthen his Barcelona squad | OneFootball

Since his arrival on the FC Barcelona bench, Hansi Flick has been able to significantly improve his team’s performances and results. Barring a few unexpected losses, the Blaugranes have been able to get a result against all the teams they have faced, impressing particularly when playing against bigger teams.

The Catalans have been performing amazingly well on the offensive front, but have still left the fans desiring more on the defensive side. This was particularly in display in the last game against Atletico Madrid, in which Barcelona allowed their opponents to grab a draw despite scoring 4 goals past them.

Flick understands that improvements are needed in the defence. For this purpose, SPORT reports that the German coach has asked the sporting management to bring in a new fullback who can play on both flanks, and Deco will do everything to grant the trainer his wish.

In fact, the former Bayern Munich head coach communicated to Deco shortly after his arrival that he will be able to compete for all the titles if they could add one or two players in the forward positions and a right-back. For the pivot position, he was convinced that Marc Bernal and Marc Casado could do the job.

At that time, Barcelona tried to bring in Marc Pubill but were unable to successfully complete this operation because they did not have enough salary margin, while Joao Cancelo was also not obtained for this same reason.

This season, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde have been playing almost all the matches, and Flick will have his fingers crossed that no injuries or suspensions happen for this pair, especially as both Hector Fort and Gerard Martin need more experience to shine at the highest level.

For now, Barcelona do not have any clear target for this position in mind, and it is also not clear whether they will have enough room in their wage bill to add another player. Still, the Sporting Department is working on this operation and will consult Flick before making a final decision in this regard.
