Flick wants Barcelona to buy players.

Coach Hansi Flick has urged the club's management to sign another central defender to address the weaknesses in Barcelona's defense.

Manager Flick wants to look for more players in the January 2026 transfer window.

Mundo Deportivo revealed that Flick told the Barcelona board directly that in order to win titles and compete in the Champions League, the team needed to sign a high-quality central defender as early as January.

Barcelona's defensive problems have become more serious following Andreas Christensen's severe injury. The Danish center-back suffered a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training, ruling him out for approximately 3-4 months, or possibly longer.

This is a major blow, leaving Christensen almost certain to miss the rest of the 2025/26 season. In addition, Ronald Araujo is still recovering from mental health issues and is not yet ready to return to play.

Currently, Flick only has two pure center-backs in Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia, along with some stopgap options such as Gerard Martin (who can play left center-back) or Jules Kounde. Flick admitted after the 2-0 win against Villarreal that the team needs to sign a center-back in the January transfer window.

He emphasized the need to strengthen the defense to remain competitive in La Liga and the Champions League. Sporting Director Deco fully agreed with Flick. Barcelona prioritizes a versatile center-back with a style similar to Inigo Martinez. Coach Flick has previously stated that Barca made a mistake in letting Martinez leave this summer.

A spectacular bicycle kick opened the CAN Cup 2025 season. On the morning of December 22nd, Ayoub El-Kaabi scored a stunning overhead kick goal, helping Morocco defeat Comoros 2-0 in the opening match of the CAN Cup 2025.
