German Hansi Flick, coach of the Spanish team Barcelona, asked to strengthen some positions within the Barcelona formation, in preparation for the next season, especially after the approaching departure of many of the team’s stars this summer.
Hansi Flick seeks to lead Barcelona to the podium again and achieve the long-awaited dream of Barcelona fans by winning the Champions League title, which Flick was known to win with Bayern Munich in 2020.
Xavi Simons, the French star of Paris Saint-Germain, attracted great attention inside the Blaugrana castle, for strengthening the midfield, especially with the German coach’s admiration for the Dutch player’s abilities.
A journalist close to Barcelona, Adrian Sanchez, revealed that Flick expressed his desire to sign Xavi Simons this summer to support Barcelona’s attack.
He continued, resolving this deal will be very difficult for the Barca management, in light of the interest of many English and German clubs in including the player.
Sanchez added that the Dutch player rejected all the temptations offered to him by the Paris administration to become Mbappe’s successor in the team and insisted on moving to Barcelona.
The journalist concluded that Flick believes that Simons will serve the style of play that he wants to implement with Barcelona, as the player is good at the role of the link between attack and defense, which enhances Barcelona’s strength. The player will also add the skill aspect to Barcelona’s squad, which is something that Barcelona has missed a lot this season.
