@FCBYamal17 @NealGardner_ @The1899FCB What I’m trying to explain, as a Catalan, is a feeling that exists among a large part of the fanbase regarding this issue. My intention is simply to provide some context and explain a reality that, from outside Catalonia, may not always be understood in the same way.

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Bon dia, Culers! We @The1899FCB have decided to make this article FREE for all readers.

Within it, @Pol_Ferre explains why many local Culers are calling for the Camp Nou to be filled with estelades (Catalan independence flags) on Thursday, and why a ceremony honouring Barça's World Cup winners with Spain might be cancelled.

Next up, it's @Pol_Ferre explaining why Marc Casadó's imminent exit will hurt local Culers. 2/4

Under Hansi Flick:

We have seen Yamal improve.
We have seen Pedri improve.
We have seen Cubarsí improve.
We have seen Raphinha improve.
We have surprisingly even seen Gerard Martín improve.

If asking a player to improve and compete for his place is now a reason you want Flick out of the club, then you are anti-Barça.

Good morning 🌞💙❤️

Now that we can confirm he’ll be leaving the club, how many million euros do you think would make it a good deal?
@The1899FCB

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Though one is out on loan with an option to buy, and the other hasn't had his exit confirmed yet, it looks like it could be the end of an era on the back line at FC Barcelona.

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

@labani_6 @The1899FCB I don’t agree. There’s clearly something Flick isn’t convinced about, and he’s the one who sees him train every day... Besides, I’m sure Deco will find a full-back and a centre-back to replace the players we’ve lost.

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

Now that everything points towards Balde being sold, Barça need to move for Salinas urgently. He’s the perfect player to rotate with Cancelo and would come at a very reasonable price.

🚨 Barça’s squad for the trip to Elche.

❌ Balde is not included.

A clear message from Flick to the player...

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Bon dia, Culers! The back-to-back league champions finally return and kick off their 2026/2027 campaign this evening.

Who or what do you want to see in FC Barcelona vs Elche?
Any predictions?

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

It looks like Lautaro Martínez isn’t going to be a realistic option after all…

@The1899FCB

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨⚫️🔵 Inter president Marotta: “Lautaro is our captain, our history. There are not even the conditions to sell Lautaro Martínez”.

“You should not even speak about Lautaro’s exit this summer”.

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

Flick was giving us clues...

[BarçaTimes @BarcaTimes]

“It's a TOUGH question. He is a KEY player, but for ME it's important to see whether you have the CONVICTION and DESIRE to compete for your position. I monitor each player DAILY, how they train, how much effort they put in etc. It's important for the club.”

— Hansi Flick, when asked whether he counts on Alejandro Balde. 👀

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

Salinas, Lukeba and a striker is now the bare minimum.

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

@vanemrys15 Trust in Deco... But if we don’t sign a full-back, I agree with you.

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

@labani_6 @The1899FCB I hope Deco continues doing things right and strengthens the position. If he doesn’t, we’re going to regret it.

[Pol Ferré Martinez @Pol_Ferre]

@JackFCB_ @The1899FCB Honestly, it’s a shame to see another La Masia player leave us... But if Hansi Flick is so certain about it, there must be a reason.

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

🚨 Julián Álvarez’s agent Fernando Hidalgo “Never ask a liar why they lied. To explain it, they'd have to lie again”.

[Jijantes FC @JijantesFC]

‼️‼️ Fernando Hidalgo, representante de Julián Álvarez, calienta el final de mercato: "NUNCA LE PREGUNTES A UN MENTIROSO POR QUÉ MINTIÓ. PARA EXPLICARLO TENDRÍA QUE MENTIR DE NUEVO." 💥💥💥
