"Flick loves working with his youngsters but feels the squad is a little unbalanced due to the proliferation of young players such as Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Pedri."
"The German coach feels he needs to add more leadership to the squad 'in a specific age group, between 26 and 28 years old.'"
"The feeling is that Barcelona possess a great team with huge potential but that more experience is required to take 'the definitive competitive leap.'"
"Barca lost experience at the back last summer when Inigo Martinez departed, while veteran striker Robert Lewandowski could move on at the end of the season when his contract expires."
Barcelona is planning for the 2026-27 season under Hansi Flick, focusing on strengthening the squad amid financial difficulties. Flick aims to recruit at least one more player, with Alessandro Bastoni and Julian Alvarez as top targets. He emphasizes the need for more experience in the team, particularly in the age range of 26 to 28 years, to balance the youthful squad. The loss of experienced players like Inigo Martinez and the potential departure of Robert Lewandowski highlight this need for leadership.
