Barcelona was very busy this week, both on and outside the field. They still cannot contract anyone, but important extensions have been completed (or are almost completed) by sporting director Deco.
On Thursday, Barcelona announced that Ronald Araujo had signed a new five -year contract, and less than 24 hours later the young left back Gerard Martin also signed a contract until 2028. Moreover, the club hopes to complete similarities with Pedri and Gavi. In the coming weeks.
Flick was not involved in these processes, but he is delighted about the work done, he told his press conference (via MD) on Saturday.
“The work of the club and deco is great. They are looking for players, but it is important to work with what is in the selection. I like how Deco is doing. “
Flick also spoke specifically about Araujo, from whom he confirmed that he will be a very important player for Barcelona in the future.
“I spoke a lot with Ronald and the most important thing is that he is fit, that he continues. I concentrate on him and he will certainly get better. Bielsa will have a great central defender under his order in the Uruguayan national team. “
Flick also gave an update about Andreas Christensen, which will be associated with an exit this month. The Danish defender has not taken action yet since he returned in January of an injury of five months.
“Of course I talk to Andreas. He came from a serious injury and is doing very well on training, although there are players for him at the moment. We know their quality and we will see what happens. “
Christensen could play for Barcelona in Sunday's game against Valencia, where Flick hinted that changes will be made to freshen up his team. However, the German manager must be aware that he cannot afford to play against a weakened team, since the Catalans have a considerable backlog at Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the title race in La Liga.
