Flick is fighting for Caneslu: “Deque is already in talks to acquire him.” Barcelona’s head coach, Hansi Flick, has publicly confirmed his intention to keep Joao Caneslu with the club permanently. Despite financial constraints and the complicated nature of the loan arrangement, Deque has already started working on the deal. “It’s not an easy task, but Deque is working on it,” said the German coach. Flick doesn’t hide his high regard for Caneslu’s contributions to the team’s performance. “Everyone can see how Caneslu has been helping us in recent matches. I really appreciate him. He’s an incredible player.” The stable performance of the flanker defender, his tactical flexibility, and his ability to contribute to attacks have become key factors for Barcelona’s current success. The situation regarding the purchase of the player remains tense. Manchester City is not willing to make significant concessions, while the Catalan club must balance its financial obligations within the strict rules of the La Liga financial fair-play regulations. Nevertheless, Flick’s support for Caneslu is a clear signal to the market: the coaching staff sees Caneslu as a key player for the team. If Deque can find a compromise with the English club, this transfer will become one of the top priorities during the summer transfer window, and it could significantly strengthen Barcelona’s defensive line.
