After a promising start to the season, Barcelona generated a lot of excitement among its supporters, signaling a potential return to form for a team that had struggled under Xavi Hernandez the previous season. However, the early optimism has since worn off, and Barcelona has reverted to its inconsistent form, which may jeopardize their chances of winning the La Liga title due to their ongoing struggles and recent string of poor results. They have only earned 5 points from the last 15 available in their last five matches.
According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Hansi Flick is planning a major overhaul of the squad, aiming to bring in several top European players. However, the club’s financial difficulties are hindering this plan.
The report further reveals that Flick is considering making a bold move to sign Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne on a free transfer next summer, assuming he doesn’t extend his contract with Manchester City. The German coach believes De Bruyne can maintain a high level of play for at least two more seasons and would provide Barcelona with the much-needed quality in midfield.
The report also notes that Pep Guardiola would be shocked by this potential move, as he is eager for De Bruyne to stay at Manchester City and renew his contract. However, the current financial difficulties at the club might pave the way for De Bruyne’s transfer to Camp Nou.
