Regretting his Departure, Returns to Barça: Laporta Seals the Deal, Flick Delighted

Hansi Flick had asked for his return and the president of FC Barcelona has closed the deal sooner than expected.

Hansi Flick has personally requested it and the truth is that Laporta hasn't taken too long to comply and close his return to Barça. The president has everything negotiated and agreed for Thiago Alcántara to rejoin the German's staff, who wants to have him close due to the great friendship that unites them. There's a magnificent relationship between the two of them and the former footballer was already helping him in his first weeks as Barça coach.

Thiago Alcántara helped Hansi Flick in his first few weeks at Barcelona, explaining how the club works and acting as a liaison with the squad. However, his job was short-lived: he had to return to the United Kingdom for tax reasons, although he never really left the day-to-day running of Barça.

Despite being in the United Kingdom, Thiago Alcántara has continued to follow the day-to-day life of Barça, being in almost constant contact with Hansi Flick and the rest of the assistants. He has attended, virtually, various meetings of the coaching staff and his point of view has always been highly respected. This presence has been requested by certain culers players, who would be delighted to have him around again.

Laporta didn't want to waste time and has managed to close his return to Barça . The idea is that Thiago Alcántara will return to Hansi Flick's staff as soon as he solves his tax 'problems' in the United Kingdom. Everything points to him returning to Barcelona on January 1, 2025, coinciding with the start of the new fiscal year.

Thiago Alcántara, Respected at Barça: This Was the Transfer That Laporta Proposed and Negotiated

Despite having left before the start of the season, the truth is that Thiago Alcántara hasn't lost track of the Catalan club. He put the name of Stefan Bajcetic, a former Liverpool teammate, on Hansi Flick 's table to reinforce the pivot due to Bernal's injury.

In the end, a possible loan agreement was reached too late and Bajcetic changed his destiny. Fortunately, Marc Casadó ended up getting his chance, and he has ended up exploding in the midfield position. In any case, his opinion was highly respected and he is expected to play a key role in the sporting planning for next season.

Thiago Alcántara is considered a key figure for various reasons. Hansi Flick has asked for his return and Laporta has immediately agreed to do so. Once his tax problems have been solved, he will return to Barcelona to play an important role in the German's coaching staff. He intends to train as a coach alongside the German, and when a high-level opportunity arises, leave: this is the agreement he has reached with the president.
