Barcelona's leaders have received a direct and urgent request from Hansi Flick to reform a defensive wing.
The German coach has officially requested the transfer of a world-class left-back, with the aim of raising the competitive standard of the first team.
The German coach believes that Alejandro Balde's current form does not meet the demands of high-pressure matches this season.
Doubts in the defensive phase and the lack of depth shown in the Copa del Rey semi-finals against Atletico Madrid have accelerated this decision.
Barcelona's sports planning is now focused on meeting the demands of the coach, who has identified a clear security "leak" on that side of the pitch.
Flick appreciates the young talents of the La Masia academy, but believes that in important matches a competitive maturity of another level is required.
The goal is for the new transfer to bring the presence of a player with experience and technical quality, elements that Balde seems to have lost in the last months of the competition.
The summer transfer window is considered the ideal moment to make this strategic move, which aims to ultimately increase the team's quality level.
Barcelona are looking to restore depth on the left wing, which has historically been one of the most potent weapons of their attacking style.
The required profile is that of a player who knows how to reach the end line with judgment and precision, while maintaining uncompromising discipline in the defensive phase.
Flick has made it clear that internal competition is the only way for Barcelona to return to the top of continental football.Telegrafi/
