Hansi Flick is planning to use a large number of rising talent from the famous La Masia Academy while Barcelona is on its way in the preseason.
On the back of a tournament -free summer, the Flick team returned for training before he flies to Japan.
Flick has benefited from a new life -blown conveyor belt from Talent that has been coming up with Lamine Yamal The Shining Light since his arrival in the club in 2024 from La Masia.
However, the German coach wants to raise more talent and the Malian winger Ibrahim Diarra will get a chance in the coming weeks.
The 18-year-old joined Barcelona shortly after the arrival of a film last summer, and impressed by the B-team and regularly trained with the first team in 2024/25.
His role has increased in recent weeks, but reports from Diario Sport claim that the club is still considering the next step in its development, after winning the UEFA Youth League in 2025.
Flick is not 100% to include him in the traveling party and the arrival of Roony Bardhji has further complicated his way to a first team.
Barcelona is reportedly considering offers for Diarra, despite its clear promise, and they have to decide between a loan or a permanent sale.
The first is the preferred option, despite the fact that the Diarra agent receives various seductive offers from Ligue 1, but Flick prefers a La Liga loan to keep an eye on his progress.
If the club is forced to sell, this will contain a repurchase clause – which has been inserted in various recent exit packages – in addition to a percentage that corresponds to a possible future sale.
Barcelona arrives in Japan and starts training on July 24, with their first friendly match of the tour on the Japanese side Vissel Kobe on the 27th.
Flick statements are then confronted with FC Seoul in the South Korean capital on July 31, before a third game, on August 4, against Daegu FC.
