FC Barcelona is having a successful time on the field. The results are positive, and the team is showing a level of play that excites its fans. Part of this good moment is due to the arrival of Hansi Flick as coach.
The highly experienced German coach has strengthened his players and consolidated an effective and attractive style of play. Under his command, key players such as Pedri, Gavi and Lewandowski have raised their performance levels.
In addition, Hansi Flick has achieved a cohesion that hasn't been seen in the blaugrana team for some time. The victories are coming and, with them, the confidence in a project that aspires to recover glory both in the League and in Europe.
Hansi Flick Wants More
Despite this good form, Flick knows that the team must continue to grow. To do so, he has asked Joan Laporta for a key reinforcement: Alphonso Davies.
The Canadian left-back, currently at Bayern Munich, is a player of great potential and versatility. His speed, offensive ability and defensive solidity make him one of the best in his position.
But there's a problem. Davies is not only a target for Barça, but also for Real Madrid. The Whites have been following the Canadian for some time, considering that he could be a pillar in their long-term project.
A blow for Madrid
Barça's intention to bid for Davies is a headache for Florentino Pérez. The Real Madrid president has been working on this operation for months, hoping that the Merengue project, with its history and ambition, will attract the player. However, the arrival of the blaugranas complicates the scenario.
This is not just a recent development. The relationship between Flick and Davies is a determining factor. During the German's time at Bayern, Davies was a key part of his system.
The coach knows his abilities well and is convinced that his transfer would raise Barça's level. For Real Madrid, losing Davies would be a blow similar to the Luis Figo case, but in reverse. If in the past it was Madrid who snatched a star player from Barça, now it could be the Catalan team who wins a crucial operation.
Florentino trusts the project
Despite the threat posed by Barça's interest, Florentino Pérez remains calm. He is convinced that Real Madrid remains the preferred destination for elite players. The club offers an ambitious project, financial stability and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
In addition, Florentino can count on the influence of figures such as Carlo Ancelotti and a squad that has proven to be competitive in all competitions. At Valdebebas they are confident that, beyond the connection with Flick, Alphonso Davies will opt to wear the white jersey.
