Barça is one of the teams with the most potential in all of Europe. This season with Hansi Flick, the culé team stands out for being one of the youngest on the continent, combining talent, ambition and freshness on the field. Flick has managed to consolidate a dynamic team that not only competes at the highest level but also excites with what is to come.
The youth of the squad is one of the club's great assets. With players barely in their twenties leading the project, Barça is emerging as a team that could dominate the future. The focus on young talents is no coincidence; it is the result of strategic planning that prioritizes La Masia.
Barça Closes Strategic Renewals
For this reason, Barça considers it crucial to renew the backbone of the team and is working on securing key players. Fermín López already renewed until 2029 in December and is expected to be more important in the club's future.
The latest to do so have been Pedri and Gavi, who have extended their contracts until 2030. Both are the heart of Barça in the midfield, combining technique, vision of the game and surprising maturity for their young age.
The Next Two
However, Barça's strategy doesn't end there. According to various media, the next players to renew will be Raphinha and Jules Koundé, whose current contracts end in 2027. Both players are clear that their desire is to stay at Barça, so negotiations shouldn't present complications.
Both Raphinha and Koundé have perfectly adapted to the play style proposed by Flick and have become key pieces.
Keys with Hansi Flick
The importance of Raphinha and Koundé in Flick's scheme is indisputable. Koundé, with his solidity and leadership ability, is the player with the most minutes played in the entire squad this season. He has consolidated in the full-back position and his consistency has made him the player with the most minutes in the squad.
Meanwhile, Raphinha is at a superlative level. With more than 3,000 minutes played, he is the second player with the most participation this season. His numbers this season are insane with 24 goals.
