Flick puts a new signing on the table for Barça: As good as Dani Olmo and will cost 60 million
Hans-Dieter Flick is very pleased with all the players he has at his disposal, and Barça have experienced considerable improvement compared to the previous year. He deserves a lot of credit for the work done so far by the German coach, who has changed the face of the team and is achieving impressive results. And more, if we take into account that they have only made one signing, that of Dani Olmo.
Much was said about the possible arrivals of Joshua Kimmich , Martín Zubimendi , Kingsley Coman , Luís Díaz, or, in particular, that of Nico Williams. But in the end, the only one who ended up landing was the former Dinamo Zagreb, RCD Espanyol and RB Leipzig player. An addition that many people considered unnecessary, despite the great role he played in the Eurocopa, where he was the tournament’s top scorer, and was vital for ‘La Roja’ to win the title.
However, he has only needed a few weeks to prove the truth to Deco, who was the one who bet on his arrival at all times. The Egaren attacker has had an immediate adaptation to the Camp Nou and La Liga EA Sports, and this is demonstrated by his three goals in just three clashes, making an average of one target every 63 minutes. And he is being untouchable for ‘Hansi’, although unfortunately his recent injury will keep him out for the next five weeks.
A very sensitive loss for Barça, although they celebrate having signed a cracker like Olmo, who is exceeding all expectations. And Flick asks Joan Laporta to repeat this operation, signing another Spanish international who also plays in the same division, and who the 59-year-old manager believes can have a similar impact to Dani’s. We are talking about Álex Baena, who continues to defend the colors of Villarreal, despite the fact that he received many offers.
He had a sensational campaign, the previous one, and that was enough for Luis de la Fuente to invite him to the Euros, and he also shone in the Olympic Games, winning the gold medal. And he is being one of the culprits of the good feelings that the ‘grogots’ are leaving.
At Barça, Baena’s progress is being closely followed, who has also attracted the attention of Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain, and who has a release clause of 60 million euros.
Flick is an admirer of the former Girona player, and advises his arrival at Laporta and Deco.
