An insight into some of the finer details of the meeting between La Liga giants Barcelona and tactician Hansi Flick on Wednesday have today come to the fore.
The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, with one point of particular interest coming in the form of Flick giving the green light to a cut-price summer addition to the club’s midfield ranks.
It is now common knowledge across the Spanish football landscape that a change on the bench at Barcelona is all but imminent.
As much comes with the Blaugrana brass, just weeks on from confirming his continuity for next season, ready to send Xavi packing from his post.
Since emerging as the leading target on the part of Deco and co. has been the aforementioned Hansi Flick, with whom Barca on Wednesday sat down for a formal meeting.
A whole host of topics were in turn talked through between the parties, with a view to an agreement on the terms of a two-year contract, starting in the summer.
One such subject came in the form of the plans of the Camp Nou board on the transfer front, specifically the intended arrival of Guido Rodríguez.
Midfielder Guido has of course been hotly tipped to take his talents to Barcelona this summer, upon the expiration of his contract with La Liga rivals Real Betis.
And Flick, as per the aforementioned Sport, has given his full backing to the move, evidently a fan of the talents boasted by the Argentine World Cup winner.
