Priorities set. Flick aims to sign a backup for Casado at Barcelona
Catalan giants Barcelona are facing challenges in registering new players but still plan to enter the transfer market. Head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has expressed a desire to strengthen the squad during the winter transfer window.
Details: The German manager believes the team needs a new defensive midfielder to serve as a backup for Marc Casado, according to Barca Universal. However, the coach's request is unlikely to be fulfilled due to ongoing financial difficulties.
Reminder: Barcelona currently sits third in La Liga. Despite an impressive start to the season, the Blaugranas have lost momentum and their advantage over rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. After the Christmas break, they will face Barbastro in the Copa del Rey on January 4.
