Each Sport: Frick didn t know that Inigo was leaving the team in advance, he didn t want to lose other important players
According to Daily Sports, Deco will meet with Frick on Thursday local time in Spain. They will jointly analyze the current situation of Barcelona's salary cap, the difficulties faced by the team's signings, and the strategic decisions to be made before the summer window is closed.
Even if Barcelona finally reaches a 1:1 fiscal balance rule this summer, the salary space they can use for signings will be very limited. In this case, Frick and others believe that it is preferred to introduce a versatile defensive player who needs to be a left-footed player, who can be both competent for full-backs and guest-game center backs. Deco previously believed that there was a "overstaff" problem in Barcelona's defense, which meant that a central defender needed to leave the team. At that time, Christensen seemed to be the most likely candidate to leave Barcelona, but in the end it was Inigo.
Frick didn't know Inigo was leaving the team in advance. He only learned about the news on a flight back from Barcelona Asia. Frick didn't want to lose other important players. If the Barcelona defense fails to complete any signings this summer, Flick will have another option to move Gerald Martin to the left center back position, as did in the preseason. In addition, in the Barcelona B team coached by Beletti, there are potential new stars Andres Cuenca and Alvaro Cortez can be transferred to the first team.
