Hansi Flick requests Barcelona for one more signing after Rashford – Two names on the agenda

Barcelona have already taken huge steps in building their new-look squad for the upcoming season. 

As such, the club has completed two major signings this summer. First, they brought in a goalkeeper, Joan Garcia, to refresh competition between the posts, and then, they closed the deal for a big-name winger, Marcus Rashford.

But despite ticking these two boxes, Barcelona are far from done in the transfer market. 

According to SPORT, Flick has made it clear that his next priority is to sign a top-level full-back. 

Ideally, the German coach wants a left-back now that his winger position is secure with Rashford’s arrival.

There is a profile in place

Barcelona’s plan is not just about improving the present but also about preparing for the future. Flick has his eyes on Alejandro Grimaldo of Bayer Leverkusen. 

Grimaldo is seen as a potential short-term solution while the club slowly develops Jofre Torrens, a promising left-back from the youth academy. 

The coaching staff believe Torrens will eventually become the club’s first-choice left-back, but he is still young and needs time to grow into the role.

The club did approach Grimaldo recently, but it was more of an enquiry than a serious negotiation. So far, no formal offer has been made.

Dumfries also an option

Barcelona are also exploring the possibility of signing Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan. The Dutch international is valued for his versatility, as he can cover the entire right flank. 

Dumfries has a €25 million release clause, but it expires in just ten days. However, the club cannot move forward with this signing until they offload some players to make room in the squad and adjust the wage bill.

After securing Rashford, Barça know there is still work to do. Fans can expect more moves in the coming days but only if the team manages to sanction some big-name exits.
