Barcelona had a great season last year. However, this season, things haven’t panned out the way Hansi Flick wanted.
However, the Blaugrana are in second place in the La Liga table just behind their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Now, Barcelona are always looking to bring in better players. However, their hands are restricted because of the financial problems they are facing.
That is why they know that if they want to sign good players, they have to sell some of their own. And Hansi Flick intends to bring in a player from Serie A who is worth around €90 million.
To pay such money, Barcelona need to sell one of their key players who can bring in €100 million. That is why, according to Fichajes, Hansi Flick wants Barcelona to make a tough decision.
The German boss wants the Blaugrana to sanction the sale of Raphinha. The Brazilian has been a key figure in the resurgence of the Blaugrana.
He and Lamine Yamal just revitalised Barcelona’s attack. However, Hansi Flick wants to take this project to the next level.
That is why he wants to bring in a younger player who can become the future of Barcelona’s attack, along with Yamal.
Raphinha is 28 currently, and his contract will expire in 2028. So, the Catalan club believes that this is the right time to part ways with the Brazilian.
With Saudi Arabian clubs ready to pay €100 million for Raphinha, the German coach believes this is the perfect time to sell the Brazilian and sign a perfect replacement.
Once they sell the Brazilian, Barcelona will make a move for the Juventus star Kenan Yildiz. The Turkish international has been sensational for Juventus.
The Serie A giants want around €90 million for the forward, and Raphinha can help the Catalan giants to bring in that money for Yildiz.
However, Barcelona will have to fight Real Madrid for Yildiz’s signature as the Madrid club is also looking to add the 20-year-old to their forward line.
