Inter Milan star provides the prototype of the fullback Hansi Flick wants for his Barcelona team – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are once again set to face Inter Milan tonight as they play the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final tie in Italy.

The first leg of this tie ended in a 3-3 draw, with Denzel Dumfries being directly involved in all three goals scored by his side and being the main tormentor of the Blaugrana team.

Denzel Dumfries impresses Hansi Flick

The Dutchman impressed a lot in that game, particularly with his ability to read spaces and to take advantage of his physical power. This performance showed what a team needs on the flanks to succeed in the UCL, and according to SPORT, Hansi Flick wants a defender like him in his team for the next season.

The German tactician is quite satisfied with the team he has at his disposal, but the fullback positions remain an area of weakness that he wants addressed this summer.

Barcelona will be able to sign a defender in this window, but it remains to be seen on which player they will make the investment.

Barcelona have several interesting options in sight

The ideal player for both Deco and Flick would be the Bayer Leverkusen fullback Jeremy Frimpong, who already has several offers from the Premier League on the table.

Trent Alexander-Arnold could have been another option, but it seems that Real Madrid have already won the race for him. He was also offered to the Blaugrana club, but they did not want to compete with the multi-million dollar offer that the Merengues put on the table for him.

Meanwhile, there are several other players being linked with Barcelona as well, including Vanderson, Dodo, and Marc Pubill. It remains to be seen which of them will ultimately arrive at the Catalan club, but Flick is clear that an addition should be made only if it clearly improves the squad. Otherwise, he will continue to bet on La Masia talent.
