Hansi Flick is not someone who can be outdone The German is known for being clear and honest, both with the sporting management and with his players. In these first weeks of the pre-season, the German has already reached several conclusions, both positive and negative
Flick has identified several players who will be difficult to touch in his plans, with players such as Marc Casado and Marc Bernal impressing the former Bayern Munich coach
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, there are other players who have confirmed Hansi Flick’s negative impressions, one of whom is French centre-back Clement Lenglet. Flick wants him out of the team as soon as possible
The newspaper continued: The Barcelona coach is clear that the Frenchman has no place in the current Barcelona squad, and although he participated in the starting lineup against City, he did not play against Real Madrid, in a clear message from Flick to the player that he does not count on him and that he can look for a new club
Flick believes that there are many midfielders in the team who are ahead of him and who are performing at a level that Lenglet cannot provide, such as Araujo, Christensen, Coparsi, Inigo Martinez, Mika Fai and even Eric Garcia or even Kounde, as there are too many central defenders for Lenglet to be in the team
Furthermore, the salary that the former Sevilla player receives is a big problem for the club, which cannot afford to keep him for another season or pay part of his salary
The newspaper added that Deco is working to close his exit and sell him permanently and the club has received offers to loan the player, but the club wants to get rid of the player who has already been out on loan for two years in a row
The newspaper concluded: It is not an easy task, but Flick has already made it clear that he will not rely on the player and wants him to leave as soon as possible so that he can work with everyone he depends on for this season. We will see if Deco can do that
