Hansi Flick urges Barcelona to strengthen midfield amid injury concerns
Summary

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has requested the club to consider adding a midfielder as the new season approaches. With Frenkie de Jong sidelined by a long-term injury and Marc Casado facing an uncertain future, the team is experiencing limitations in its midfield options. Flick's plea comes amidst Barcelona's economic constraints, as the club focuses on bolstering its squad. Potential signings might include free agents, though options like Leon Goretzka seem unlikely. The search for a suitable midfielder continues as the team navigates its financial challenges.
