Barcelona’s coach is focused on enhancing the team for the upcoming seasons and has pinpointed a potential target who might also attract interest from Real Madrid in future transfers.
It’s important to note that Barcelona is facing a severe financial crisis, which has hampered their ability to make significant signings, as was evident during the last summer transfer window. In contrast, Real Madrid is enjoying a period of great success on all fronts.
According to Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Hansi Flick is interested in signing Jeremy Frimpong, the right-back from Bayer Leverkusen. While Frimpong is highly regarded in Madrid, there are concerns about his defensive skills, as he primarily plays as a wing-back and often advances into attack, making him less experienced in a traditional four-man defense setup.
The newspaper also reports that Frimpong has expressed to Barcelona that his primary goal is to join Real Madrid, where he hopes to play alongside Vinicius and Mbappe in one of the most exciting projects in football.
This is a significant setback for Barcelona, but they are determined to persuade Frimpong to choose them. Additionally, they are aware that Real Madrid is also keeping an eye on Alexander-Arnold’s situation.
Having Vinicius and Mbappé together ensures the club will have exceptional attacking prowess. While their chemistry will require further development through training and additional matches, any footballer would be excited to play alongside them. It’s understandable that Frimpong would aspire to join Real Madrid, especially given his longstanding admiration for the club.
