Confirmed, Hansi Flick's favorite will leave Barça: he's heading to Germany

With Hansi Flick's arrival, everything has changed: FC Barcelona is once again among the elite and the fans are excited again, but it hasn't been easy at all. The German coach has had to build a dream team with limited resources. Flick has turned to La Masia's talent to build a balanced squad, with the surprising inclusion of Marc Casadó standing out in particular.

Hansi Flick has found in Casadó the pivot Barça had been searching for since Sergio Busquets's departure. He has also trusted other young academy players like Bernal, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, or Gerard Martín. Flick was fully aware of the limitations he would have to face when Deco offered him the position and he accepted without complaint.

Deco had already warned him that the arrival of major signings wouldn't be possible due to the club's delicate financial situation. However, far from making excuses for the situation, Hansi Flick has worked tirelessly to find the solution. We can say that he has succeeded, since Barça has won LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.

La Masia, cornerstone of Hansi Flick's project

The academy has become the German coach's greatest success, his total and complete trust in the young players has been his best argument. In midfield, footballers like Casadó, Fermín, or Gavi have played a key role in his system. In attack, the great star Lamine Yamal stands out: his masterful performances have made him a new global reference.

Despite the many opportunities Hansi Flick has given, not all academy players have a place in the first team. Toni Fernández, for example, has played minutes in Copa and shows great promise. In contrast, the one who seemed to be Flick's great protégé, Noah Darvich, will pack his bags this summer for sure.

Noah Darvich, Hansi Flick's spoiled child, leaves Barça

Noah Darvich arrived at Barça in the summer of 2023 as one of the greatest promises of German soccer. However, due to the lack of opportunities, the talented German attacking midfielder, one of the gems Hansi Flick has cherished the most, is seriously considering a change of scenery this very summer. The footballer hasn't had the chance to debut with the first team and the difficult sporting situation of the reserve team has been the trigger.

Barça Atlètic has been relegated to the Segunda RFEF and Noah Darvich believes his progress has stalled. Hansi Flick still hasn't given him minutes with the seniors even though they keep a good relationship and usually chat after training sessions. This situation, together with the interest from several Bundesliga teams, will lead to his departure.

Noah Darvich knows he has several offers to return to his country, but Stuttgart and Leverkusen are the ones that have shown the most interest. Hansi Flick doesn't see his departure as a bad thing as long as Barça keeps an affordable buy-back clause.
