Hansi Flick dissatisfied with Barca president

Hansi Flick has had a difficult few days, especially after an important transfer request of his was not approved by President Joan Laporta.

Mr. Flick's transfer request was rejected.

From the very beginning of his tenure, Flick made it clear that strengthening the flanks, especially the right and left-back positions, was crucial to maintaining competitiveness throughout the season.

He wanted a versatile player who could play well in both Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde's positions, two key players who had both had fitness problems. It was not only a rotation solution, but also a strategic move, to avoid a repeat of the thin squad that made Barcelona lose steam in the decisive stages of last season.

However, this request of the German strategist was not met by the board of directors. President Joan Laporta said that the club was facing serious financial difficulties and could not afford the contract that Flick wanted. In the context of being bound by the financial fair play regulations of La Liga, Laporta chose the solution of prioritizing financial stability and sustainability rather than continuing to take risks due to professional requirements.

This refusal caused deep disappointment in Flick. Although he still showed professionalism in training sessions and public communication, internally, the German coach is said to have expressed clear dissatisfaction.

He felt the team's sporting plans were not on track with what the coaching staff wanted and was concerned that Barcelona would not be able to compete seriously without adding quality personnel.
