Planning underway As such, SPORT reports that work is already underway quietly at Barcelona with regard to planning their squad for the pre-season."
"Juan Hernandez has recently renewed his contract with the idea of starting work under Flick more regularly. The presence of Jofre Torrents, Alvaro Cortes, Toni Fernandez and Guille Fernandez is also expected. There are also players such as Tommy Marques and Xavi Espart who, despite not taking part in pre-season under Flick last summer, have spent many weeks training under the first-team coach this season."
Pre-season will start at the end of next July, with an atypical summer caused by a longer World Cup that will delay many first-team players until August. Barcelona is quietly planning the squad for that pre-season and expects a situation similar to when Hansi Flick arrived, with few senior players available initially. That will create opportunities for La Masia talents to prove themselves. Identified candidates include Juan Hernandez, Jofre Torrents, Alvaro Cortes, Toni Fernandez, Guille Fernandez, Tommy Marques and Xavi Espart. The club is taking a cautious approach amid upcoming elections and uncertainty over Deco and Flick, and some youngsters may go out on loan.
