Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has urged the club’s management to strengthen the squad with experienced players following the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ronald Araújo. The exit of these key figures has significantly rejuvenated the Blaugrana dressing room, leaving goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny as the only player over 30 years old in the squad.
According to Sport, the German coach is pushing for the signing of Manchester City midfielder Rodri, viewing him as a mental leader who can guide the younger players. Flick has already held a personal conversation with the Spanish international. Amid these squad changes, the captaincy hierarchy is also being reshaped: Raphinha is set to take over the captain’s armband, with Pedri, Gavi, and Eric García appointed as his deputies.
