After the summer transfer window closed in Europe, several key issues have emerged at Barcelona. The club successfully signed young striker Pau Victor and Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo from Leipzig in a deal worth 60 million euros.
Spanish press reports have highlighted a significant development involving German coach Hansi Flick. According to Spanish journalist Mateo Morito, despite interest from other clubs, Ansu Fati was not close to leaving Barcelona this summer. Flick, who has full confidence in Fati, prefers to use him as a central striker rather than a winger.
Fati was on the verge of leaving Barcelona during the last summer transfer window, but Flick’s decision to remain at the club led to him staying. The Spanish newspaper reported that while Laporta sought to offload Fati this summer, Flick opposed the sale, insisting he was counting on the player for the season.
Barcelona has enjoyed a strong start to the Spanish League, winning their first four matches and leading the table with 12 points.
