Barcelona’s summer overhaul is still in full swing — and Hansi Flick isn’t hiding his ambitions.
After sealing deals for Joan García (goalkeeper) and Roony Bardghji (winger), and with Nico Williams reportedly close to joining, it might seem like the squad is nearly complete. But according to SPORT, Flick is pushing for two more key signings to fulfill his vision of building a truly elite squad.
Flick’s Goal: “Create the Best Team on the Planet”
For Flick, the 2025 summer transfer window is a rare, pivotal moment — a chance to assemble a team that defines an era at Barcelona. While there’s excitement about the new arrivals, the German manager remains grounded, aware that Barça still falls short of Europe’s top sides.
His final two transfer targets reflect that strategic awareness:
1. Full-Back Upgrades
Flick is convinced that both flanks lack the physicality, reliability, and technical finesse required at the highest level.
Though Jules Koundé has held his own on the right and Alejandro Balde is working back from injury, concerns remain over depth and consistency. A dynamic, high-energy full-back could be crucial to implementing Flick’s pressing tactics and width-based play.
2. A Backup Striker for Lewandowski
At 36, Robert Lewandowski still leads the line, but Flick knows he can’t be expected to carry the load alone. The coach wants a dependable striker who can rotate with the veteran now — and eventually take the mantle.
While the long-term goal is to sign a marquee forward in 2026, for now, Barça are eyeing cost-effective forwards — possibly from within La Liga or other European leagues — who can offer instant impact without straining the budget.
The Bigger Picture
Flick’s transfer demands make one thing clear: Barcelona are aiming higher than gradual improvement. The objective is to compete with the best — right now — closing the gap on Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich.
With the La Liga title race tightening and Champions League expectations rising, Flick knows swift and bold action is essential.
So who should Barça go after next?
Jeremie Frimpong at right-back? Vitor Roque or Bryan Zaragoza as the striker?
Let the debate begin.
