Flick aims for World Cup top player
The article focuses on Barcelona coach Hans Flick's desire to sign Spanish midfielder Rodri, who won the 2026 World Cup and was named the best player of the tournament, as a replacement for the injured Frenkie de Jong and to reduce reliance on a player plagued by recurring physical problems. Flick considers that Rodri possesses the defensive capabilities, game rhythm control, and experience necessary to lead the team's midfield. Securing him is a key objective to enhance the team's stability and responsiveness in major competitions. However, the deal faces financial obstacles, with Manchester City insisting on keeping the player and expressing a desire to renew his contract. Selling de Jong might be used as a financial resource to fund the transfer.
