Barcelona is ramping up its transfer activity in a bid to strengthen Hansi Flick’s squad ahead of the new season. The club is determined to resolve the shortcomings exposed during Flick’s first campaign in charge.
Under his guidance, Barcelona enjoyed a successful season, capturing a domestic treble—La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup—and advancing to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, where they were controversially eliminated by Inter Milan.
As reported by El Nacional, the club has made an official approach to sign Emiliano Martinez, the Argentine goalkeeper who helped his nation win the 2022 World Cup. Martinez, widely admired by Barcelona fans, is seen as a top choice to reinforce the position.
This move reflects the club’s strategic planning, especially given the uncertainty surrounding Wojciech Szczesny’s future. Although Szczesny was offered a one-year extension, his continued reluctance to commit—after coming out of retirement late last year—has prompted Barcelona to explore alternatives.
