Many Barcelona players are suffering from a significant decline in their level, as they have strayed far from their best versions. This decline has raised concerns for Hansi Flick, who is increasingly worried about the drop in performance of some players who were once considered essential in his squad.
Despite the economic crisis the club is experiencing, the Catalan team is seeking to strengthen its ranks with world-class signings in order to regain its position in Europe.
In an interview with the Catalan newspaper “Sport”, the legendary Thierry Henry, who has extensive experience in European football, urged the Barcelona management to strengthen the team’s midfield as soon as possible. Specifically, Henry recommended signing Belgian Amadou Onana, the star of English club Aston Villa, as an ideal replacement for Marc Casado in the Catalan team.
Before moving to Aston Villa last summer, Onana played for Everton, and Henry had already urged Barcelona coach Hansi Flick to sign him at that time, given his great potential and ability to restore balance to the team’s midfield.
Onana is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, known for his physical strength, game-reading ability, and ball control. Henry believes that signing Onana is a necessary step for Barcelona to regain control of their midfield, and he stresses that the club must do everything in its power to complete the deal, regardless of the cost. This move is expected to have a significant positive impact on the team in the near future.
