Barcelona's black list: Hansi Flick's 3 rejects for the upcoming season | El Mundo

Hansi Flick has held a decisive summit with Deco to define the necessary departures for the upcoming season. The German coach is looking for a much more solid and balanced team, prioritizing quality over quantity of available players.

In this restructuring of FC Barcelona, three names have been singled out as players who do not fit into the new tactical scheme. Marc Casadó, João Cancelo, and Roony Bardghji are the footballers who, for different reasons, do not fit in the coach's plans.

Flick understands that the team's growth process requires brave and sometimes painful decisions for the Blaugrana fanbase. The absolute priority for the bench is to increase competitiveness in European nights and ensure a non-negotiable defensive structure. Therefore, the coach has been clear in communicating that these three players must seek new professional horizons soon.

FC Barcelona prioritizes the departure of João Cancelo and Marc Casadó

The situation of the Portuguese full-back is the most evident within the current sports management reports. FC Barcelona has no intention of extending the contract with João Cancelo once his current loan period ends.

Although his contribution in attack has shown flashes of quality, his defensive shortcomings clash directly with the discipline demanded by Flick. For the Bavarian coach, a full-back must, above all, provide guarantees in defense and tactical rigor in one-on-one duels. The club prefers to invest those resources in a wing-back profile that better suits the high-pressing system.

On the other hand, Marc Casadó's trajectory in the first team seems to have reached a point of no return. The German strategist appreciates the efforts of the academy player but believes he has not made the required structural quality leap.

In such a delicate position as the midfield, the team needs a player with more hierarchy and dominant physical presence. The club's intention is to facilitate his departure through a transfer that will allow to refresh finances and free up a valuable spot.

The dilemma of Roony Bardghji and the future of the attack

The case of the young Swedish talent is radically different from his teammates, as his technical potential continues to impress Flick. The issue lies in the lack of actual playing time he might have due to Lamine Yamal's definitive breakthrough.

The coach is aware that a player with the projection of Roony Bardghji cannot afford competitive obscurity. Stunting his professional development would be a strategic mistake that the Catalan entity is not willing to make under any circumstances.

Options for the young Swedish winger

A loan to a top-level team or a sale with a buy-back option are the formulas being considered. The aim is to maintain control over the player, avoiding his talent being lost due to a lack of consistent opportunities.

FC Barcelona wants to ensure that, if the forward flourishes elsewhere, he can return home with the necessary experience. This decision shows that Flick prefers a lean squad where each member knows exactly what their specific role is.

The squad redesign is a meticulous task that leaves no room for doubts or sentimentalism in elite competition. The departures of Marc Casadó, João Cancelo, and Roony Bardghji will allow the team to gain coherence and tactical balance.

Flick has outlined the roadmap, and the club is already working to execute these moves promptly. The FC Barcelona of the future is being built today, based on meritocracy and the relentless pursuit of sporting excellence.
