Flick hopes to bring former Barcelona player to his headquarters

Hansi Flick and Thiago Alcantara are getting closer again. The former Barcelona player will spend a few days with the Blaugrana staff, which this time could lead to a deal, reports Mundo Deportivo.

When the German arrived at Barcelona a year ago, he was already counting on Thiago. The former Liverpool player spent weeks working with the Barcelona coaching staff, which seemed like a final decision. However, he was forced to return to England for tax reasons and the signing of the contract was delayed.

Flick's idea is to have someone in the team who knows the club inside and out, as happened with the Spanish-Brazilian. It should be remembered that Thiago is a graduate of Barcelona, ​​but at that time the high competition in the midfield did not allow him to fully develop. Therefore, the young Spaniard moved to Bayern in 2013.

In Munich, Thiago became a club legend, after which in 2020 he accepted a new challenge, moving to Liverpool, where he was unable to show his best football due to injuries. After a long struggle with various injuries, the Spaniard announced the end of his career on July 8, 2024, at the age of 33.
