The Board of Directors of the Spanish Club Barcelona, headed by Joan Laporta, announced the departure of Xavi Hernandez, the coach of the football team, after the end of the current sports season, as the next Seville match will be his last on the Barca bench.
The Catalan giant failed to achieve any title this season, after bidding farewell to all the tournaments in which the club participated, and the German Hansi Flick approached replacing Xavi Hernandez in leading the Catalan giant for the next season.
The Spanish newspapers confirmed that if the German coach was hired, he would have some demands to strengthen Barca’s ranks so that he could achieve positive results.
The newspaper “Sport” indicated that Hansi Flick has identified the first moves that he wants to announce upon his arrival to Barcelona, as he believes that it is necessary to strengthen the team if they want to aspire to win all titles.
The newspaper added that the German star Kimmich, the star of the German club Bayern Munich, is among Flick’s priorities in strengthening Barcelona’s ranks during the upcoming summer Mercato.
Flick also wants to strengthen the left front due to his dissatisfaction with Marcos Alonso and Baldi’s fluctuating level before the injury. The name recommended by Flick is David Raum, the German full-back for Leipzig.
The German coach knows his compatriot well, who was under his leadership in the German national team, and is convinced that he will be an excellent addition to Barcelona The Leipzig star has become one of the best players in Europe, and his price will not be large, as he can be signed for approximately 30 million euros.
There is another name from Leipzig that Flick is seeking to sign, which is the Spanish star Dani Olmo, the German team’s winger, whom Flick sees as a strong support for Barca in the next season.
The newspaper concluded that the fourth player that Flick is seeking to bring to Barcelona is the Bayer Leverkusen star and one of the best full-backs in the Dutch world, Jeremy Verimpong, especially since Flick is not convinced by the Portuguese player Joao Cancelo in this position.
