Barça Doesn't Rest on the Laurels of Recent Success. Although everything is working correctly in the locker room, work continues in the offices. The transfer market is a strategic priority for the directors.
Deco has a clear mission: to detect and secure talent before it explodes. Every season new talents emerge that can make a difference. Barça always wants to be one step ahead of the rest.
Barça Seeks a High-Level Substitute for the Attack
Hansi Flick has already started outlining his needs for the next season. He wants a quality winger who will accept a secondary role. The demand of matches forces rotation, even with key pieces.
Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Lewandowski will remain undisputed starters. However, they need rest to maintain their level throughout the season. That's why Barça is looking for an explosive and hungry profile.
Deco Activates a Direct Operation with Betis
In this context, Barça has found a gem at Benito Villamarín. There, one of the revelations of the season in LaLiga has exploded. His performance hasn't gone unnoticed by the Barça scouts.
It's Jesús Rodríguez, a young, fast winger with great dribbling ability. He has shown an unusual maturity for his age. Flick considers him ideal to complete his offensive rotation.
Jesus Rodriguez, a Signing That Excites Barça
Barça and Betis have already come closer to finalizing his transfer. Jesús Rodríguez has a release clause set at 35 million. Deco is willing to pay it if another agreement isn't reached.
Jesús Rodríguez has fit into the First Division as if he had been competing at the highest level for years. His dribbling, dribbling skills, and flair have made half the country talk about him. Barça sees him as an investment for the present and future.
Jesús Rodríguez Would Provide Immediate Depth to Flick
At just 19 years old, he has already shown personality in demanding scenarios. He doesn't back down against any opponent and always asks for the ball. This type of character fits with what Barça is looking for.
Moreover, his style perfectly adapts to Hansi Flick's offensive DNA. Quick in transition, brave in one-on-one situations, and supportive in defense. An ideal profile to revolutionize matches from the bench.
Flick Wants to Have His Attack Closed as Soon as Possible
The German coach wants to avoid last-minute surprises in the market. That's why Deco has gotten ahead of the interest of other European giants. Betis knows they are facing a great economic operation.
If everything progresses as expected, the agreement could be formalized in June. Jesús Rodríguez would become Flick's first major bet. Barça would add a key piece with a long-term vision.
