Hansi Flick has issued a bold demand to Barcelona’s board for a major January transfer as he seeks to reinforce the squad mid-season.
Barcelona’s defensive fragility has reached a breaking point, with Hansi Flick’s high-pressing fortress crumbling under an injury avalanche that threatens to derail their LaLiga supremacy just as the calendar flips to 2026.
Andreas Christensen’s ACL devastation, Jules Koundé’s hamstring limbo, and Ronald Araujo’s extended mental health sabbatical have forced desperate rotations—midfielders like Eric García and Marc Casadó thrust into full-back duties, Pau Cubarsí overburdened on his weaker side, and a backline gasping against pacey counters.
Financial Fair Play’s injury clauses dangle January lifelines, allowing salary relief for long-term absentees, yet Deco’s war chest strains under wage limits and a winter market notorious for inflated loans and reluctant sellers.
Whispers of Deco-Flick alignment intensify, the German’s voice carrying unprecedented weight after masterminding the summit surge.
As training camps beckon post-break, one clarion demand could force hands—prioritizing stability over sentiment in a window where hesitation costs trophies.
Hansi Flick makes bold demand to Barcelona board in January window—a central defender tops his wishlist to plug the void left by Iñigo Martínez’s summer exit and current crises.

Hansi Flick eyes profiles blending experience, consistency, and stylistic fit—no quantity over quality. Deco concurs, scouting options despite FFP hurdles and clubs’ mid-season grip.
