BARCELONA, Spain — If trying to compete with Real Madrid and newly arrived Kylian Mbappé wasn't daunting enough, now Hansi Flick's Barcelona squad is being thinned out by departures.
BARCELONA, Spain — If trying to compete with Real Madrid and newly arrived Kylian Mbappé wasn’t daunting enough, now Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad is being thinned out by departures.
Roque is also reportedly close to leaving on loan for Real Betis, although Portugal’s Sporting has apparently made inquiries. The young Brazilian forward cost Barcelona a €30-million transfer last summer. He arrived in the winter transfer market but never earned consistent playing minutes despite the significant investment made to sign him.
But a year later only Martínez appears set to continue with the team that finished last season without a title and the departure of coach Xavi Hernández, who was pushed out after he publicly complained that the club’s lack of money would make it hard to compete with Madrid or the other top European clubs.
With players hurt or leaving, Flick has not hesitated in relying heavily on the products of Barcelona’s famed La Masia youth academy. He gave debuts to midfielders Gerard Martín and Marc Bernal at the always demanding outing at Valencia in their Spanish league opener, when Robert Lewandowski scored a brace for a 2-1 victory. In total Flick aligned three 17-year-olds in his starting 11 between Lamine Yamal, Bernal and Pau Cubarsí.
