FC Barcelona is experiencing a season of great results under the direction of Hansi Flick, who has managed to maximize the performance of a squad full of talent.
The players, who didn't necessarily need major reinforcements, have shown their capability, and the team is competing for the most important titles. However, Deco is still evaluating opportunities to strengthen the squad, and one of the names is familiar to Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí.
The Impact of Hansi Flick and the Current Squad
Since Hansi Flick's arrival, Barcelona has experienced a remarkable improvement in its performance. Although the squad already had high-level players, Flick has managed to extract the maximum potential from his footballers. The key to his success lies in his tactical approach, which has polished players who were not at their best before.
Barcelona, with only Olmo and Pau Víctor, has shown that it doesn't need major signings to compete for the three titles.
The club's strategy has been clear: to bet on the youth academy and make the most of young talent. Players like Marc Casadó and Gerard Martín, coming from the reserve team, have had opportunities in the first team, and their performance has been positive.
Deco and His Search for Reinforcements
Despite the team's overall good performance, Deco remains alert to any opportunity to improve the squad. Although Balde and Koundé have been key, Deco is looking for options to strengthen the left side.
One of the names that has stood out is Adam Aznou, a young full-back trained at La Masia and currently at Bayern.
Aznou, a former Barça youth player, has caught attention for his great offensive projection. Although little known outside Barça, his talent is undeniable, and Deco is evaluating whether he is an option to strengthen the squad. Despite this, the sporting director hasn't made a definitive decision yet.
Aznou: A Talent with International Projection
Adam Aznou is a full-back characterized by his offensive capability and his ability to create danger on the flanks. His left foot is especially precise, and he has an excellent ball strike, allowing him to offer dangerous crosses and actively participate in his team's offensive plays.
This offensive capability is one of the points that has impressed Barça's scouts, who value Aznou's versatility, as he can also play as a winger if necessary.
Throughout his career, Aznou has been gaining experience in various competitions. In the 2024-25 season, he was on loan at Real Valladolid, where he played an important role in the team, accumulating more than 400 minutes of play. His time in the Bundesliga with Bayern has also allowed him to learn and grow as a player, which has been key to his development.
This year, he was in the Under-21 Euro, showing his connection with Yamal and Cubarsí, who have recommended him to Barcelona.
