Flick Desperately Asks for His Signing: He Needs Him Now at Barça, Much Better Than Balde

The position occupied by Jules Koundé needs more competition

Barça is experiencing a moment of hope in the financial realm after several years of economic difficulties. With the arrival of the 1:1 Fair Play rule, the club has managed to balance its accounts and move toward sustainable financial management. Additionally, the recent contract renewal with Nike, one of the most lucrative deals in the club's history, has provided significant relief in terms of revenue.

These factors, combined with more controlled planning, have led the board to believe that, finally, they are in a favorable position to conduct an ambitious transfer market. The club's economic stability now allows the sports management, led by Deco, to act with more freedom and seek reinforcements. Barcelona is clear that it is time to take a step forward in the transfer market.

Winger and Fullbacks, Major Targets

One of the priorities of Barça's sports management will be the addition of a standout winger. The club is looking for a game-changing player, capable of creating danger and bringing dynamism to the attack. Despite having options like Ferran Torres, Barcelona believes that another addition in this position could be key.

However, in addition to a winger, Barça also plans to sign at least one right-back. Despite Koundé's good season, the club considers it essential to have a reliable backup for that position. 

Hansi Flick Isn't Counting on Héctor Fort

The German doesn't trust Héctor Fort despite the club's hopes in him. The need to give the Frenchman a rest and have a reliable defender at right-back is urgent, and the sports management is working to find an affordable solution.

The Name Gaining the Most Strength to Arrive

One of the names that is being heard the most in Barça's offices is Marc Pubill, right-back for Almería. The young footballer has stood out for his defensive solidity and his ability to join the attack, making him an attractive option.

Pubill, who has shown a great level both in the first and second divisions, is considered an affordable player with great growth potential. At 21 years old, the Catalan could offer Barça a fresh and dynamic alternative, allowing Koundé to rest when necessary.
