FC Barcelona’s planning for the next summer market has several clear objectives, and one of them is to be able to complete the return of Joao Cancelo. Despite the departure of although the German coach has also made it clear that he would be satisfied with another option.
And Barça has not yet been able to advance too much in the negotiations with Manchester City for Cancelo, taking into account that the English are looking for an operation of around 25-30 million euros, a figure that the culés are not willing to pay. Given this, Flick has asked the club to also consider very specifically the signing of Jeremie Frimpong.
Hansi Flick closely follows the growth of Frimpong
The coach wants the Dutchman in the squad for his quality, youth and speed, especially after his great performance for Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen. The Netherlands international is playing in the Euro Cup, so it is unlikely that terms will be reached with the player. But Deco could try to find out what his position is for this summer, especially taking into account that many Leverkusen players have made it clear that they will not move, at least, until 2025.
Although it is clear that for any operation, Barça would have to wait to return to the 1/1 rule, ‘Rac1’ has pointed out that Hansi Flick highly values Frimpong’s versatility. The reality is that the player is not a classic full-back, since his best version was seen playing as a winger, almost as a winger, with few defensive responsibilities, but at 23 years old he could have great room to improve some aspects to be a starter for Barça in a line of four defenders.
Last year, the right winger was very important in Xabi Alonso’s scheme, in which he was deployed on the right wing in three different roles: full-back, winger and winger. In 47 games, the Dutchman scored 14 goals and assisted on 12 occasions, making it clear that his contribution on offense was also a great factor for Leverkusen’s success last season. in which the German team won the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
