Hansi Flick has brought Barça back to the top of Europe, and the results are fascinating. With limited resources, the German has managed to make the squad step up and perform like never before. To achieve this, the coach has adapted perfectly, and everything points to the Catalans winning more than one title this season.
In fact, the fans are excited again, and the Champions League semifinals are a key point in the season. Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal defeated Real Madrid two days ago and made a statement. Now, the English team's coach has accepted that he will lose one of his stars to Hansi Flick.
Hansi Flick's Barça
Hansi Flick arrived in Barcelona a few months ago, and since then, Barça has been functioning like a well-oiled machine. In fact, the squad members have admitted on several occasions that they are very happy with their current manager. For things to go so well, Flick has had to prioritize and decide which stars to leave out.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has been doing very well since he arrived at Arsenal and is in second place in the standings. The gunners have caught the attention of the entire continent, and several of the players are on the favorites list of other teams. In fact, Hansi Flick has his eye on one of Arteta's most important talents.
We are talking about Thomas Partey, the defender who is playing as a pivot and has become indispensable. He has become an essential starter for Mikel Arteta, but he will not renew. The defender's contract ends this summer, and everything points to him leaving in search of opportunities.
Thomas Partey and the possibility of signing for Barça
Thomas Partey will not continue at Arsenal even if they win the Champions League, and his dream is to land at Barça under Hansi Flick's orders. His release clause is 50 million euros, making it affordable for Barça, which could pay that amount. The Catalans do not need a pivot right now, but if for any reason Frenkie de Jong leaves, Partey could be an option at zero cost.
