Hansi Flick hopes that the transfer process at Barcelona can be accelerated, and that they can get rid of seven players who he considers are not at the level necessary to be part of the team
The idea is to reduce the wage bill and make room in the dressing room, and he asks Joan Laporta and Deco to find a solution for all of these players before the end of next week because at that time the first round of La Liga will start
According to information from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, there are seven names that “Hansi” has put on the table, starting with Clement Lenglet and Inigo Martínez. Despite the lack of players in the defense line at the Camp Nou at the moment, neither of them has a chance to stay, and their departure is a priority. They receive an unjustified salary, and they are not part of the German coach’s plans, who wants them to leave as soon as possible, and they were unable to convince Flick in the pre-season period
The newspaper added: Ferran Torres and Rafinha Diaz have also been judged, because after the arrival of Dani Olmo and the possible signing of Nico Williams, they no longer have any chance of being key players. Both cost a lot of money, but at no point have they been able to meet expectations.
The former Bayern Munich and Germany coach does not want them to stay in the team, and the idea is that they can recover a large part of the investment they made when signing the duo
The newspaper added: A case very similar to that of Vitor Roque, who has clearly been hurt by the emergence of Pau Victor, one of the revelations during the stage in the United States. Pau Victor has triumphed over Flick, and will remain to become the main alternative to Robert Lewandowski, forcing “Vito Roque” to leave Barcelona just six months after his presentation, where he has shown absolutely nothing, and it was a wrong bet by Deco
Ansu Fati will also be absent, after making good impressions in the first training sessions, but he suffered a new injury that has left him without options
Finally there is Pablo Torre, who, despite performing well in the friendlies, lost his chance after Olmo’s arrival, and Flick recommended that he leave Barcelona on loan, so that he could continue to progress
