Barcelona Begin Squad Overhaul Under Flick: Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, and Pau Víctor Out
After a historic season in which Barcelona captured a domestic treble, the club is now setting its sights on reclaiming European glory—with a particular focus on the UEFA Champions League. In pursuit of this ambition, new head coach Hansi Flick is working closely with the board to initiate a bold restructuring of the squad.
According to El Nacional, the first signs of this new era are already emerging with the confirmed departure of Ansu Fati, a once-promising academy product who has now permanently fallen out of Flick’s plans. The 21-year-old winger has struggled with form and consistency, and despite a loan spell, he has not managed to convince the new coaching staff of his place in the project.
But Fati’s exit is only the beginning.
Two More Say Goodbye
Young midfielder Pablo Torre and striker Pau Víctor are also set to leave Camp Nou after being informed by Flick that they are not part of his plans for the upcoming campaign. Both players have shown potential, but Flick reportedly prefers to focus on talent that can contribute immediately at the highest level, rather than invest further time in their development within the first team.
Their departures are expected to take place via loan deals with buy-back clauses or potential permanent transfers, as both have attracted interest from La Liga and abroad.
A New Chapter
These exits signal the start of a broader squad overhaul, with several more players expected to be evaluated over the coming weeks. Flick, known for his tactical clarity and high standards, aims to mold a team capable not only of domestic dominance but also European competitiveness.
Barcelona’s top brass share this vision, and significant moves—both in terms of outgoings and targeted reinforcements—are expected throughout the summer transfer window.
The club is poised to reinvest in key areas of the squad, seeking experienced leaders and high-potential talents who align with Flick’s fast, structured, and disciplined footballing philosophy.
What’s Next?
With the departures of Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, and Pau Víctor confirmed or imminent, all eyes are now on the club’s next moves. Fans and analysts alike will be watching to see if Barcelona’s calculated rebuild can finally deliver the Champions League success that has eluded them since 2015.
Stay tuned as the Flick era begins to take shape—one decision at a time.
