After a strong start to the season, Barcelona sparked a lot of enthusiasm among its fans, marking the beginning of a return of confidence for a team that had endured a difficult season under Xavi Hernandez.
However, the initial optimism has faded, and Barcelona has returned to its fluctuating form, which could potentially cost them the La Liga title this year due to the continuous loss of points in recent matches. The team has earned only 5 points from the last 15 available in their last five games.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Hansi Flick is aiming to overhaul the Catalan squad and bring in a large number of top-tier European stars, but the financial crisis the team is facing is hindering this plan.
The newspaper added that Flick is considering making a bold move by trying to sign Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne next summer on a free transfer, provided he does not renew his contract with Manchester City.
The German coach believes that De Bruyne can perform at a high level for at least two more seasons and would make a significant impact at Barcelona, offering the team much-needed qualities in midfield that are currently lacking.
The newspaper also noted that Pep Guardiola would receive a shock if this move were to happen, given his strong desire to see the Belgian player continue at Manchester City and renew his contract. However, the current crisis facing the Sky Blues could be the key to De Bruyne making a move to Camp Nou.
