Hansi Flick and Deco have identified a player with a history with Real Madrid to bolster Barcelona’s squad: Miguel Gutiérrez, the young left-back who currently plays for Girona and has been performing brilliantly for the Catalan team.
Gutiérrez’s name has started to attract increasing interest at Camp Nou, as the club sees him as an exciting option to reinforce the left flank of the defense.
It is no coincidence that Gutiérrez has caught Barcelona’s attention, as he has shown significant improvement in his performances since his move to Girona. Thanks to his ability to contribute offensively, in addition to his strong defensive qualities, he has become one of the best full-backs in La Liga.
These qualities have caught the attention of Hansi Flick, who is looking for options to strengthen the left-back position and provide greater depth in this position, currently occupied by Alejandro Balde.
However, according to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, the process of signing Gutiérrez will not be easy, as the player has a release clause of 35 million euros, an amount that could pose a challenge for Barcelona given its financial constraints.
Nevertheless, Camp Nou officials believe that investing in the player could be an important step to strengthen the team with a reliable option in this position.
On the other hand, Real Madrid reserves the right to buy Gutiérrez back for just €8 million. However, indications are that the Whites are currently focused on completing a deal for Canadian full-back Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich, which could open the door for Barcelona to negotiate the signing of Gutiérrez.
According to sources close to the player, a return to the club where he grew up is not ruled out, but the competition at Real Madrid may not be the best fit for his career at the moment.
At Barcelona, Deco plays a pivotal role in the sporting planning and shares Flick’s enthusiasm for signing Gutiérrez. Both parties agree that the player could be a strong addition not only for the immediate future but also for the long term for a team that seeks to rejuvenate itself without compromising its competitiveness.
