FC Barcelona already has a new request from Hansi Flick on the table. The German coach wants to strengthen the culer attack and, according to information from "Fichajes.net", he has pointed to a specific name: Kenan Yildiz. The young Turkish forward from Juventus is one of the footballers with the most potential in European soccer... Flick is convinced that his arrival could make a difference in the Barcelona project.
A talent rated higher than Arda Güler
Hansi Flick's request is no coincidence. The German believes that Yildiz has qualities that put him even above his compatriot Arda Güler, who plays for Real Madrid. The Türkiye forward, just 20 years old, combines dribbling, power, and a great ability to create danger in the opponent's box. In addition, he has versatility that allows him to play as a winger or second striker, a profile that fits perfectly with Flick's soccer philosophy.
Laporta sees it favorably
According to the aforementioned information, the coach's proposal has convinced Joan Laporta, who has already had Kenan Yildiz's name highlighted in red on the club's agenda for some time. Barça believes it would be a strategic signing, not only to strengthen the current squad, but also as a bet for the future.
However, the operation won't be easy: Juventus is asking for at least €80 million (80 millones de euros) to let its emerging star leave.
How he would fit in at Barcelona
At Spotify Camp Nou, they believe that Kenan Yildiz could quickly adapt to the system. With his boldness and one-on-one quality, he's seen as a top-level alternative to players like Raphinha or Lamine Yamal on the wings. In addition, Hansi Flick highly values his defensive work rate, something essential in his scheme. The Turkish player's youth and potential make him an ideal footballer to grow alongside the new generation of culer talents.
A bet for the present and the future
Barça knows the figure is high. But it also understands that the market is inflated and that €80 million (80 millones de euros) for a 20-year-old player with so much talent could be a profitable investment in the medium term. The operation will depend on the club's ability to balance the books, but what is clear is that Kenan Yildiz's name has become a priority in the culer offices.
Meanwhile, in an election year, everyone is aware that Laporta is keeping an ace up his sleeve in the form of a major signing to secure re-election.
