Europa Press, E-Noticies Hansi Flick asks for his return to Barça, he's better than Fermín and Dani Olmo, everyone knows it
The German coach knows he could be a reinforcement who brings quality to the attacking midfield
The start of the season for FC Barcelona is nothing like last year's. Problems are piling up in the Catalan capital, painting a worrying picture.
The economic situation remains very delicate, Camp Nou is still not ready to host matches, and now significant sporting setbacks are being added. The injuries to Gavi and Fermín López are a devastating blow for the squad.
The "6" will be out of action for five months, while the "16" will miss at least three weeks of competition.
The team is left without two key pieces and, above all, without alternatives in such a delicate area as the attacking midfield.
Hansi Flick requests reinforcements
Hansi Flick, aware of the seriousness of the matter, has acted quickly. The German coach has requested from Deco the addition of a new attacking midfielder for next summer.
The sporting planning is now in question, since right now the only player available for that position is Dani Olmo.
The lack of options limits the coach's tactical variations, which could compromise the team's performance in major events.
The name pointed out by Flick has quickly come to light. It is a footballer with a Barça past whom many fans remember with nostalgia: Xavi Simons.
The chosen one: Xavi Simons
Simons was always considered the great jewel of La Masia. His talent dazzled in the youth categories, but he decided to leave for PSG before establishing himself in the first team.
After his departure, the attacking midfielder has grown by leaps and bounds. The German already excelled at PSV, proved himself at Leipzig, and this summer signed for Tottenham Hotspur in a deal close to €60 million.
Despite everything, it seems clear that a call from Hansi Flick could make him change his mind.
The German coach is certain: Xavi Simons is better than Fermín López and Dani Olmo, and he would be the perfect piece to lead Barça's new era.
The future at stake
The challenge won't be easy. Tottenham has just made a major investment and won't make his departure easy. However, history, the bond with Barça, and the possibility of returning home play in favor of the Catalans.
The club knows that the margin for error is minimal. Gavi's absence and Fermín López's inconsistency force them to move quickly in the market. The priority is clear and has a first and last name.
Xavi Simons represents not only an immediate quality reinforcement, but also the opportunity to recover a gem that should never have escaped.
Barça is preparing its offensive, and the coming months will be decisive to know if the attacking midfielder will wear the blaugrana jersey again.
