Hansi Flick’s 5 Ruthless Rules That Transformed Barcelona’s Locker Room 😳🔥
Hansi Flick has built one of the most united Barça dressing rooms in years.
🧵
When Barca was signing Ferran Torres, Julian Alvarez was available at the time as well for just 20 million. He wanted to come to Barca from Argentina, and the fans wanted him too. But Barca signed Ferran Torres for double that and City went and signed Alvarez.
Literally, what Barcelona’s current sporting director Deco is doing is fixing the mistakes left behind by the previous sporting director, Mateu Alemany. ����🏻
A lot of Deco’s work was held back by Alemany’s previous mistakes, which left Barcelona unable to sign players and with their wage bill completely suffocating the club’s financial space.
Ansu Fati’s ridiculous salary, which Deco has now managed to get rid of.
Araújo’s huge salary as well. He has now left on loan, with Liverpool covering his wages.
Ter Stegen’s massive salary. He has gone out on loan too, although Barcelona are still covering a significant part of it.
Jules Koundé and his extremely high salary, with reports currently suggesting he could leave for the Premier League.
Ferran Torres, who was signed for a huge fee despite being little more than an unknown backup at Manchester City.
And there are many, many other financial and economic problems that Deco inherited when he was appointed sporting director. Barcelona literally couldn’t register a single signing at the time. 👌🏻
Deco’s real work has started this season, and he has managed to turn things around to the point where, together with Laporta and Flick, Barcelona now have much more breathing room in the transfer market.
I take my hat off to Deco as a successful sporting director. He is getting rid of players who are no longer important but earn huge salaries, while bringing in excellent signings on reasonable wages.
I’d love to hear your opinion on Deco’s work as sporting director. Do you think he is doing a great job, or do you still prefer Mateu Alemany? 🤔
Julian Alvarez to Barcelona will drag until the end of the transfer window, maybe even until next year as Atletico is making things difficult. Lots of drama to unfold. Barcelona will get Rodri tho
Real Madrid know how to sell. Gonzalo Garcia sold to Fulham for €70 million. Buy back included
Barca is struggling to get get €40 million for World Cup scorer Ferran Torres
🚨 🚨 JUST IN: Should Ronald Araujo depart and Barça fail to find a reliable replacement in the market, Jules Koundé is viewed internally as a strong option to return to his natural position as a centre-back.
The presence of Eric García at right-back would allow Hansi Flick to make that change, while Héctor Fort and Xavi Espart are also pushing for a place in the first-team squad.

In Frenkie’s absence the only real midfielders Barca have for the deeper role are Bernal and Gavi. So any injury to either of them or Pedri will ruin Barca’s season. Need to make a signing asap. Rodri?
For FC Barcelona, June 30 is more than a financial deadline.
It determines whether the club enters the summer transfer window under La Liga's 1:1 spending rule, restoring the ability to reinvest every euro earned.
