Barça is experiencing one of its most exciting seasons in recent years with Hansi Flick. The team has shown an exciting level of play, with a mix of youth and experience that has revitalized the club.
Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha, and Pau Cubarsí are some of the names leading this exciting project. In this regard, Barça has already won the Spanish Super Cup, conquered after defeating the eternal rival, Real Madrid, in a memorable match in Arabia. Despite some ups and downs, the culé team has demonstrated the quality and character necessary to compete for all the titles at stake.
A forward to help compete for everything
However, Hansi Flick is not satisfied with what has been achieved so far with Barça and continues to look for ways to strengthen his team in the final days of the winter market. The German coach is clear that, despite the quality shown by his players, there are still areas of the field that can improve.
Thus, one of the points Flick wants to strengthen is the forward line. Therefore, Deco continues to work on this operation, looking for a piece that can provide the necessary quality leap to compete for all the titles.
The first option remains Marcus Rashford
In this regard, Barça's main target remains Marcus Rashford. The Englishman from Manchester United, who is going through a difficult time at his club, is the favorite to strengthen the culé offensive line since the beginning of the market. Therefore, Barça has held talks to try to finalize his loan until the end of the season.
Despite competition from other clubs like Dortmund or Milan, Barça is confident that it can reach an agreement for the English striker, who prioritizes Barcelona.
Hansi Flick activates the 'Plan B'
Nevertheless, Flick has proposed a second option to strengthen the forward line and it is Leroy Sané. According to 'El Nacional.cat', Sané, whose contract ends in the summer, would be an attractive option for Barça, as he would arrive at a relatively low price.
The possibility of incorporating Sané would give Barça another quality offensive alternative, with a player who has experience in the European elite and could provide his imbalance. However, the incorporation of one of these two players will depend on the club managing to sell a player before the market closes.
In other words, Barça is having one of its best seasons in a long time, but Hansi Flick continues to seek to improve the squad with the help of Deco and the sports management. The loan of Marcus Rashford remains the priority, although the option of Leroy Sané is also on the table. However, Barça will only be able to sign one of these players if it manages to make a sale before the January market closes.
