Confirmed, 2 Departures and 2 Transfers Following Barça-Celta Results: Flick Agrees
Hansi Flick knows that this FC Barcelona needs changes after what has been happening in the last few games. Against Celta he had another example that this team needs to reinforce its bench in order not to suffer in the games that, on paper, they have won. The German, in addition, has not hesitated to point out (behind closed doors) two players: Gerard Martín and De Jong.
In the case of Gerard Martín, Flick believes that he doesn’t have the level for a team like Barça. He is using him because he has no other choice: Balde was injured and did not want to change Fort’s position. Given this scenario, the only option left was that of the Catalan, who could have been sent off and was on the verge of committing a penalty. After this disastrous performance, he ended up being substituted after 45 minutes.

The other player who was singled out also has a name and surname: Frenkie de Jong . Once again, he came on in the 75th minute and everything went to hell. In just a few minutes, the score went from 0-2 to 2-2. In fact, the Dutchman was seriously singled out for Celta’s second goal, not actively going to press when he could have stolen the ball before shooting.
Hansi Flick: 2 Players Accused and 2 Players Signed after What Happened against Celta
What Hansi Flick is clear about is that moves are needed. He is not asking for them immediately, but he does believe that they would help raise the level of the squad. He hopes that a new destination is found for Gerard Martín where he can grow and develop . Although he doesn’t see him ready for FC Barcelona at the moment, he believes that he can have a certain potential if he finds a destination where he can be important.
A player who could arrive at Barça to replace Gerard Martín is Nicolás Tagliafico, from Lyon . They need to sell immediately and he is a full-back who has been in the Barça orbit for some time. At 32 years old, he has accumulated several sporting successes and could serve to give a rest to a Balde who usually shows physical problems throughout a season.

The next case is more complicated. De Jong doesn’t want to leave Barça even though his contract ends in 2026. He has one of the highest salaries in the squad and the sporting management has been wanting to get rid of him for some time. Hansi Flick has given his approval, provided they bring in a top-quality replacement: he really likes Fabián.
Both have time to turn the situation around, but the reality is that Flick is starting to get impatient and what happened against Celta leaves them in a bad position.
