Hansi Flick and Xavi signings

FC Barcelona is being linked to multiple players for the forthcoming transfer windows, despite the fact that the latest summer transfer window ended just about a month ago. For example, it was recently rumored that they were watching Thomas Partey, an Arsenal midfielder, and Leroy Sane, a winger for Bayern Munich. Next year, the two players are available for free signing by the Catalans.

Partey will be an especially appealing choice for Barcelona to bolster their midfield, but the Blaugranes are reportedly examining other midfielders as well, according to Fichajes. According to the Spanish daily, Barcelona has also developed an interest in Stanislav Lobotka, the midfield player for Napoli, as a result of Hansi Flick's persistent efforts. 

The Slovakian midfielder, in the tactician's opinion, has the greatest profile to improve his midfield. Lobotka has been a crucial element of Antonio Conte’s Napoli, and at this initial phase of the year, he already impressed everyone by his passing excellence, ability to manage the team, and his comprehension of the game.

His versatility and expertise will also appeal to Flick because they can provide the team a rapid lift. The Slovakian has, however, previously been connected to Barcelona; in fact, Xavi Hernandez desired to have him in his squad during the latter part of his tenure with the Blaugrana club.

Can FC Barcelona sign the players’ Hansi Flick demands?

Although Deco will do everything in its power to get him, it is not anticipated that signing him would be simple. Deco feels that having him will be crucial to fighting for every title the following season. Thus, to minimize his price, Barcelona might consider offering some of their present players including Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, and Pablo Torre.

Without a doubt, Lobotka is the kind of player who will be valuable to Flick's squad. The subsequent transfer window won't open for another while, so it will be interesting to see how this tale plays out.
