Barcelona is seeking to restore balance to the team’s lineup before the start of the new season under the leadership of German Hansi Flick, the team’s coach, who was hired to succeed Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez.
\nIt is noteworthy that Barcelona is still in the summer Mercato survey stage in order to search for the shortcomings that the team needs and implement the requests of coach Hansi Flick, taking into account the financial crisis that the Catalan club is going through.<\/p>\n
According to information received from the Catalan newspaper \u201cSport\u201d, Barcelona received a sudden request from Hansi Flick about the need to sign another goalkeeper alongside Ter Stegen, as the German coach believes that Stegen will not be able to continue throughout the season at the same level.
\nThe newspaper added that Barcelona is considering the option of contracting with Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, the former Real Madrid goalkeeper, who frustrated everyone inside the Madrid club in the few matches he participated in last season.<\/p>\n
The newspaper added that Laporta is considering submitting an offer to buy the goalkeeper, especially after the end of his loan with Real Madrid and Perez\u2019s refusal to buy his contract. Also, Chelsea, which owns the player\u2019s contract, does not mind selling him for a low amount, which is what prompts Barcelona to sign the goalkeeper despite the rejection of this deal by many Catalan fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
