One of Barça's great successes this season is, without a doubt, Hansi Flick's impact in the locker room. The German coach has managed to keep the entire squad activated and with the mentality to help when it's time to play. It doesn't matter if you're a starter, a substitute, or part of the rotation; if you're on the field, you must perform, and the players are responding.
The most evident example is Ferran Torres. The Valencian forward is not a regular in the starting eleven, but when he gets minutes, he makes the most of them. He has scored important goals, sacrifices himself in defense, and shows an exemplary attitude.
Hansi Flick Has a Clear Starting Eleven
Despite having the entire squad engaged, Flick also has his line-up well-defined for key matches. With Wojciech Szczesny in goal, the defense is formed by Koundé on the right flank, Cubarsí and Íñigo Martínez in the center, and Alejandro Balde as the left-back.
In the midfield, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and Dani Olmo form a trio that mixes talent, rhythm control, and verticality. In the attack, the trident formed by Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Lewandowski is the most effective in all of Europe.
The Club Knows Offers Will Come
The season that Barça is having is simply impressive. The team plays well, wins important matches, conveys a sense of a solid project, and is on track for the treble. That's why it's no surprise that the major European clubs are closely following several players.
From within the club, they are already preparing for a busy summer. Significant offers are expected for several footballers, which could mean valuable income but also delicate decisions. Flick and the management will need to handle this scenario well.
A Footballer Has a 65 Million Offer
The first offer has already arrived. According to 'TeamTalk', Arsenal has put 65 million euros on the table for Jules Koundé. The French center-back has been Flick's most used player and is an untouchable piece in the defense.
The club values the offer, although they also know it won't be easy to find a reliable replacement. Flick considers Koundé a pillar, but everything will depend on the transfer plan, the player's opinion, and the financial fit. What is clear is that Koundé's contract ends in 2027, and Barça must start thinking about renewing him or letting him go.
