The Impact of the Latest Defeat
The team’s recent 0-3 defeat to Monaco has set off alarm bells for the coaching staff led by Hansi Flick. The need to revitalise the squad has led the coach to call on Deco, the sporting director, to look for new signings.
Hansi Flick’s Vision
Aware of the precarious situation the club finds itself in, Flick has expressed his desire to see signings made that could raise the team’s competitive level. However, the coach has his doubts about the viability of landing a high-profile player due to Barça’s financial limitations.
Economic Alternatives
For this reason, Flick has turned to more affordable options that can meet the club’s requirements. One name that has gained traction in his considerations is Kingsley Coman, a player who could be a viable option to reinforce the attacking line.
Kingsley Coman: A Tempting Signing
Coman, who is being eyed by Barca following his move from Bayern Munich, is a player Flick knows well. During his time at the German club, the two shared success and the manager has praised the Frenchman’s abilities, stressing that, if he remains injury-free, he could be a major attacking asset.
Caution due to injuries
Despite the interest, there are concerns about Coman’s injury history. Some members of the coaching staff are sceptical about whether his signing would be the right fit, especially given the expectations of the fans.
Coman’s Preference
However, the real challenge for Flick is that Coman does not seem to be that interested in joining Barca. PSG, his former club, have also shown interest and it is the destination that the player would prefer. Returning to France would allow him to be close to his family environment and compete for titles in a familiar environment.
The Call of Hansi
Flick is expected to try to persuade Coman if he gets the green light from Deco. However, the signs are that the player’s priority is leaning towards PSG, where he feels more comfortable and has a greater chance of success.
Final Thoughts
As Barça look to strengthen their squad, Coman’s situation becomes a focal point. The player’s decision between two big clubs could define not only his career, but also the Catalan side’s immediate future in the competition.
