Confirmed, Neither Rafael Leao Nor Mohamed Salah: Hansi Flick's 2 Favorites Are TOP

Barça already has its priorities to strengthen the attack, and there are two names that stand out above the rest

Hansi Flick is clear that Barça needs more depth in their attack. Raphinha has been a key player, but his wear and tear throughout the season has shown the lack of a reliable replacement. Ferran Torres has been the only substitute, but his performance has been inconsistent, and the German coach wants top-level solutions.

Barça is not only looking for a substitute to give Raphinha a rest but also an striker who can compete for a starting position. Flick wants more alternatives to unlock matches and elevate the team's competitiveness. In this context, several options have emerged in the market that have caught the attention of the Barça board.

Rafael Leao and Mohamed Salah, Strong Candidates

Two names have been on Barça's radar in recent weeks. Rafael Leao is one of the most unbalancing wingers in Europe, and his youth makes him an attractive option. On the other hand, Mohamed Salah remains one of the most lethal strikers, although his age and cost complicate his signing. Both have been linked with Barça, but the latest reports point in another direction.

The Decision Is Made: Flick Already Has His Favorites

According to Fabrizio Romano, Barça has already decided on the two names they want to bring in to strengthen the attack. These are two footballers with experience at the elite level and a profile that fits perfectly with Flick's style. Although Leao and Salah are quality options, the reality is that there are other candidates that generate more consensus within the club.

Nico Williams and Luis Díaz, Flick's Choices

Barça has set their sights on Nico Williams and Luis Díaz, two wingers who stand out for their speed, imbalance, and ability to make a difference. Nico is one of the most promising talents in Spanish soccer and has excelled in LaLiga with his verticality and dribbling. Meanwhile, Luis Díaz has experience in the Premier League and a style that fits perfectly with the Barça philosophy.

Complicated but Possible Signings

Both footballers are under contract with their respective clubs, and their signing will not be easy. Nico Williams has attracted the interest of several major teams in Europe, while Luis Díaz is a key player in his current team. However, Barça is willing to make an effort to bring in one of them and give Flick the reinforcement he so desperately needs.

The German coach wants a more competitive Barça, and these signings can make a difference. The decision is made, and now the board is working to make it a reality. If Barça manages to close one of these signings, Flick will have more resources to face the next season with confidence.
