Barça is going through a great moment and the excellent results achieved this year are the perfect reflection of that. The culé team has improved a lot and has left behind the poor sporting situation that had been dragging on for several seasons. Deco has been closing relevant reinforcements, but the reality is that he still doesn't have a free hand to do whatever he wants.
Hansi Flick was the board's personal bet and has finally been Barça's savior thanks to his excellent methods. The coach has made all the footballers show their best soccer and has given opportunities to young stars. Unfortunately, not everything is good; Deco has to find a way out for a culé who has been left without a place.
Hansi Flick and his new Barça
Hansi Flick has landed on his feet in Barcelona and the methods he has used at Barça have been very well received by everyone. The German hasn't requested signings that are beyond the club's reach and hasn't forgotten about the youth academy. Barça is known for giving opportunities to young players and the coach has understood this perfectly.
He hasn't had too many demands, but one of them has been that he himself decides what to do with his footballers. He doesn't want anyone to interfere with his decisions and always looks out for the good of the team. This has led Hansi Flick to do without one of the footballers who has been most in the background.
The player who has been left without a place in Hansi Flick's squad is Oriol Romeu, who has already been on the club's exit ramp for some time. The Spaniard arrived in Barcelona hoping to replace Busquets, but the challenge has been too great for him. After a loan spell at Girona, a team where he showed his best version, the midfielder has had to return to Barça.
Oriol Romeu leaves
Deco is negotiating with Oriol Romeu for a letter of freedom; which means the pivot would leave as a free agent. Although this means a loss of money for the club, what matters to the culés now is to free up wage mass. In a few days Oriol's future will be decided, but it's very likely that Deco will accompany him to the exit door.
