Change is needed in every competition but I think Barcelona doesn't need to make changes for now because I think their squad is perfect enough to compete next season, Hansi Flick just needs to maintain what he did last season, but maybe the small shortcomings that need to be fixed are on the defense side because even though their defense is not bad sometimes the players like to make mistakes that result in defeat.
Btw I haven't heard the latest news regarding the purchase of Nico, has Barcelona not found common ground with Athletic Bilbao?

Both sides want to complete this transfer, and Nico also wants to join Barcelona. But the main issue is that Athletic Bilbao believes Barcelona will not be able to finalize this transfer because of their financial problems. The main reason is that Athletic Bilbao wants Barcelona to pay the entire transfer fee in a single payment. Obviously, since Barcelona is dealing with financial difficulties, they cannot make a one time payment, and are asking to split the transfer into several installments. As for the defense, I think the main problem was the goalkeeper last season. This issue will be solved, so I believe Barcelona's defense will become even stronger.

Barcelona wants to pay Nico in installments like they do to some players?
I wonder why Barcelona never learns, meaning if they are unable to fulfill Bilbao request, don't force yourself. Besides their defense is still very solid and Nico role is actually not really needed in the Barcelona squad. Hansi Flick is a pretty good coach when it comes to utilizing young players and he can still take from La Masia. Unless Barcelona dares to spend the full cost to bring in Nico, if not it's better to focus on developing the available players rather than having to go into debt.
