Barcelona star close to leaving because of Hansi Flick

Barcelona is enjoying an excellent season, thanks to a string of positive results under German coach Hansi Flick, who is helping the team regain its strength and dominance. The club currently tops the La Liga table with 33 points, 9 points ahead of rivals Real Madrid, who have a game in hand against Valencia.

However, recent reports have raised concerns for Barcelona fans regarding the future of one of the team’s key players. According to Spanish newspaper *Sport*, there are growing uncertainties about Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong’s position at the club under Flick’s management. The report suggests that De Jong’s performances have not impressed the German coach, particularly after his subpar showing in the recent match against Espanyol.

The report also notes that Flick’s preferred midfield trio consists of Casado, Pedri, and Olmo, with Gavi ahead of De Jong in the pecking order. This situation has reportedly left the Dutchman unsettled. Additionally, the club is said to be considering selling him due to his high wages and ongoing injury issues.
