The Hansi Flick Era Starts at Barça : Awaiting Fullback Decisions
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatApp

Hansi Flick, who already visited the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper when he signed his contract and met Joan Laporta at Barça headquarters, will soon return to Barcelona. He is ready to dive into his new role and fully focus on this exciting chapter in his career.

Given the current situation at Barça, paralyzed by the infamous 1:1 rule that restricts any incoming transfers, there are many questions. Flick accepted the job, aware of these constraints and knowing that the ideal scenario might never be reached. Consequently, there may be fewer changes to the squad than desired.

Uncertain Future for Fullbacks

One of the areas with the most uncertainty is the fullback positions. It seems the center-back lineup is set, and there are minimal expected changes in midfield and attack (with priorities being a defensive midfielder and a winger). However, according to SPORT, the fullback positions remain a puzzle.

Alejandro Balde’s Return

❗️Hansi Flick has very good references of Alejandro Balde and hopes that he can do what Alphonso Davies did under him at Bayern Munich.

Balde will be back in pre-season. He knows that Flick’s game suits perfectly to his qualities and he is very motivated.

Alejandro Balde, in the final stages of his recovery, is untouchable on the left. The youngster aims to regain his explosiveness and impact the game from deep positions. Héctor Fort, who recently renewed his contract, will also be part of Flick’s squad. At just 17, Fort is expected to be a rotational player as he continues to grow and develop.

Julián Araujo’s Big Chance

Julián Araujo is likely to stay at Barcelona. His impressive season at UD Las Palmas and the club’s financial situation work in his favor. After finishing his loan, Araujo has been training hard at the Ciutat Esportiva, eager to impress Flick. The two have already met during Flick’s initial visit to Joan Gamper, and Araujo is ready to start the season strong.

Joao Cancelo and Other Fullback Decisions

The situation with Joao Cancelo remains uncertain. The idea is to repeat his loan, as a permanent transfer is off the table. However, Jorge Mendes will play a crucial role in negotiating this deal with Manchester City. Another player returning from loan is Alex Valle. He will likely join the preseason, but it’s unclear if he will stay. Valle has a Barça B contract but would need to be promoted to the first team if he stays. His future will be decided after his loan spell at Levante.

Bottom line

Hansi Flick faces several key decisions as he begins his journey with Barça. The uncertainty surrounding the fullback positions, the potential for new signings, and the integration of young talents like Balde, Fort, and Araujo will shape the team’s future. With financial constraints and strategic planning, Flick’s ability to navigate these challenges will be crucial for Barcelona’s success in the upcoming season.
