Although Joan Laporta and Deco have been planning the next campaign for a long time, after the victory in El Clásico, they have intensified their efforts. Flick has left a mark on FC Barcelona and has managed to instill a strong personality in his footballers.
The coach is very satisfied with his squad and the level everyone has reached in the competitions. Although not too many signings are expected, there is one in particular that the German likes a lot. Hansi Flick has given Deco assignments for the 2025-2026 season.
What does Flick desire? Deco already knows
Flick has asked Deco for a skillful and versatile affordable winger. He needs a very fast player, but one that doesn't require a large outlay for FC Barcelona. The sporting director has an option in mind that he has been working on for months.
Nico Williams seemed to be the chosen one for a long time due to his good relationship with Barça players. Now, however, it seems impossible. The Basque already rejected FC Barcelona, and it doesn't seem like he will be linked this summer.
Luis Díaz, the Colombian from Liverpool, has shown interest on some occasions, but so far without news. Names like Leroy Sané, whose contract is ending, or Rafael Leao, are desirable on the club's list. However, the one that is now gaining more strength is a player from Chelsea.
Low-cost option for Barça
In recent hours, we have learned that FC Barcelona is working on other alternatives. In fact, Deco has been observing a footballer for a long time, and it is a more economical option. Joan Laporta continues to insist on taking care of the club's financial situation.
The option proposed by Deco is Jadon Sancho. The footballer belongs to Manchester United, although currently on loan at Chelsea. The Englishman has played 40 official matches in which he has scored 4 goals and 10 assists.
After his recognized fame at Borussia Dortmund, the English winger decided to try his luck in the Premier League with Manchester United. There he didn't shine, and he returned to Dortmund on loan. Again, after regaining his level at Signal Iduna Park, he returned to United, which loaned him again to Chelsea.
From Old Trafford, they are eager to get rid of him. The Red Devils are asking for 23 million euros for the Englishman. Although it is not the most interesting option for Barça, it is a very affordable alternative.
We have already seen that Hansi Flick is capable of recovering and reactivating the level of footballers. The German can be key to seeing Jadon Sancho again.
