Hansi Flick is starting to make important decisions ahead of the new season. His intention is to renew certain positions and strengthen others. For that, he needs to know which pieces he has and which ones could leave.
The German coach wants each piece to earn its place day by day. That's why no one has their continuity guaranteed in this new project. Not even those who've already debuted with the first team.
Hansi Flick, Barça and the first discards of the season
Some already know they aren't in the coach's plans. Others are still waiting for a definitive answer. The competition is tough and the margin for error is minimal.
In this context, there's a case that's started to generate a lot of internal conversation. It's about a footballer who's performed well, but whose continuity isn't certain. Several European giants have already inquired about him.
Chelsea and Atlético insist on a very specific profile
Barça has received interest from two giants: Chelsea and Atlético. Both are willing to negotiate his transfer in the coming weeks. They believe he has the perfect profile for their midfield.
In the offices, they already know a formal offer could arrive. All that's left is for Hansi Flick to give his final opinion. The decision is in the hands of the German coach.
Marc Casadó excites outside Camp Nou
The footballer everyone is talking about is Marc Casadó. His performance with the reserve team has been very consistent and convincing. In addition, every time he's played with the first team, he's left a good impression.
However, his role in the first squad remains very secondary. It's not clear if Hansi Flick sees him as an important piece. Chelsea and Atlético have detected that uncertainty and want to take advantage of it.
Marc Casadó knows his situation isn't easy at Barça
Aware that he's not a priority, Casadó is considering all options. He knows that being left without minutes would slow his progression. That's why he doesn't rule out listening to proposals that would give him more prominence.
Neither he nor his camp want to rush. If a convincing offer arrives, he could leave. Everything depends on what Flick decides in the coming days.
Chelsea and Atlético believe he can break out away from Camp Nou
Both teams have been monitoring him for months. They like his energy, tactical ability, and vision at the base of play. They see him as a safe bet in the medium term.
In addition, they know his price still isn't too high. That's why they believe now is the perfect time to make a move. Everything could be finalized if Barça doesn't declare him non-transferable.
Casadó's future in Hansi Flick's hands
Flick now has the final say on Marc Casadó. He can bet on him or allow his departure if good conditions arrive. What is clear is that there is no shortage of offers.
Barça will have to assess whether it wants to keep counting on his talent. Chelsea and Atlético are already ready to take the step. The summer promises important decisions for the future of the midfield.
