I hope Barcelona finalizes the sale of Roque as soon as possible to raise some funds. If Nico Williams is really staying at Athletic Bilbao then they would look for another alternative. They just can't finish this transfer window without making a proper transfer to the attacking line. Raphinha isn't a reliable player. They need a more consistent winger to the left side.

But I can't see anyone else rumoured as a Plan B in case of not being able to sign Williams. Have you heard any?  Huh

Hansi Flick has come in a really tough time so I'm really curious how good he will be able to handle this Barcelona.
Xavi had a harder time than Flick. He made Barça champions after a terrible season. I don't know if Flick can perform like that because they are playing against the best Real Madrid in history. Barcelona must fight with extra effort this year under Flick's management, otherwise they won't be able to do it.
The new La Liga season has not started yet but the narrative that is developing seems to put Hansi Flick under heavy pressure, it is understandable that this is all due to the ideal squad owned by Madrid and the financial crisis experienced by Barcelona. We have seen Barcelona able to win the La Liga trophy despite experiencing difficulties, at the same time Madrid also has better squad depth, who knows Hansi Flick can be as lucky as Xavi. The possibility will still exist, even though we know the chances of it happening are very low. However, we must also admit that only Barcelona can be relied on to challenge Madrid's dominance.

On the other hand, regarding Barcelona efforts to increase squad depth, I believe there are many ways to make it happen, including releasing several players who have not contributed much such as Vitor Roque and recruiting Nico Williams. I think Hansi Flick should prioritize overhauling the defense line first rather than the front line, because if we refer to last season statistics, the number of goals conceded by Barcelona in one season was quite high. Therefore, we will see how Barcelona management deals with difficulties while trying to increase strength to face next season.
