Hansi Flick is preparing to hold important one-on-one meetings with several Barcelona players whose futures remain uncertain ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

According to reports in Mundo Deportivo<\/a>, the German coach plans to personally speak with Jules Kounde, Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo and Roony Bardghji regarding their situations within the squad.<\/p>\n

As per the outlet, while Barcelona already have a core group of players considered untouchable, the futures of several others remain less secure due to sporting and financial reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In that regard, Flick wants complete clarity before next season begins and intends to explain his plans directly to each player individually.<\/p>\n

Several folders to discuss<\/p>\n

As such, Balde\u2019s role has become increasingly uncertain<\/a> after losing prominence at left-back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joao Cancelo has adapted to the position, while Gerard Martin also provides a strong option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Barcelona are even considering reinforcing the role<\/a> further in the market, which could force them to sell the La Masia graduate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bardghji\u2019s future is also unclear<\/a> after a disappointing breakthrough season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flick initially viewed the Swedish winger as an important backup option for Lamine Yamal, but the youngster has gradually lost prominence.<\/p>\n

Araujo\u2019s situation, on the other hand, remains particularly delicate after a difficult campaign in which he lost his place in the starting XI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future, the Uruguayan still wants to stay and fight<\/a> for his position at the club.<\/p>\n

Are exits really necessary?<\/p>\n

The uncertainty surrounding these players is not only linked to sporting decisions, as Barcelona\u2019s financial situation also remains a major factor.<\/p>\n

If the club wants to make important signings this summer, which is going to be the case, player sales may become necessary to create salary space and generate transfer income.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That reality places several valuable squad members in difficult situations despite still being appreciated internally.<\/p>\n

In that context, players like Araujo, Kounde and Balde all continue attracting strong interest in the market because of their age, quality and long-term value.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simply put, Barcelona know that significant offers for those players could help fund reinforcements in other positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hansi Flick is preparing to hold important one-on-one meetings with several Barcelona players whose futures remain uncertain ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[933,92,222,223,548,929,940],"class_list":{"0":"post-23939","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-barcelona","8":"tag-alejandro-balde","9":"tag-barcelona","10":"tag-barcelona-news","11":"tag-fc-barcelona","12":"tag-jules-kounde","13":"tag-ronald-araujo","14":"tag-roony-bardghji"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
