00:00After ending last season without winning a title, FC Barcelona is preparing to start
00:04next season with their new coach, Hunsi Flick.
00:08Not only that, Barcelona also brought in a new assistant, namely Thiago Alcantara, who
00:13recently decided to retire from football.
00:16He spent his youth at the La Masia Academy, which is where he grew up as a professional
00:20footballer.
00:22Thiago Alcantara also played for the first team before leaving for Bayern Munich and
00:26Liverpool.
00:27His experience as a professional player at various top European clubs makes him the right
00:32person to help the FC Barcelona coaching team.
00:38With competition in La Liga becoming increasingly fierce, Barcelona is now starting to target
00:42several players to strengthen the team next season.
00:46One name linked with El Barca is Spanish national team star Nico Williams.
00:51Barcelona's sporting director has reportedly met with Nico Williams' agent.
00:56Nico Williams became a famous footballer after appearing impressively in the Euro 2024 Championship.
01:02He scored two goals and two assists and helped Spain win the title.
01:06So, Barcelona tried to establish a personal agreement with Nico Williams before submitting
01:11a proposal to his home club.
01:13According to Transfermarkt, Nico's current market price is €60 million.
01:19If Nico Williams officially joins Barcelona, we will see a combination of him and La Mania
01:23Mall on both wings of Barcelona's attack line.
01:27However, reports from Sportstate that Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, and Hansi Flick prefer
01:33other options.
01:34They are more interested in Dani Almo, who has a release clause of €60 million.
01:40Hansi Flick and Deco think Dani Almo is more suitable than Nico Williams.
01:45Dani Almo, who is now 26 years old, is considered more experienced for the Barcelona squad,
01:50which is filled with many young players.
01:53In the Euro 2024 Championship, he scored three goals and two assists throughout the
01:57tournament.
01:58If Barcelona succeeds in bringing in the two players they are targeting, you can be sure
02:02they will have a terrible squad next season.
02:07For the goalkeeper position, Marc-André Ter Stegen still seems irreplaceable.
02:12The German goalkeeper has proven to be consistent and reliable.
02:16With his very long experience, Ter Stegen will be an important figure next season.
02:24In the defence position, so far there has been no change in the composition of players.
02:29Coach Hansi Flick can field quality defenders.
02:32After experiencing many injuries last season, Alejandro Balde will play at left-back, while
02:37Jules Kown will play at right-back.
02:40In the defensive midfield, Ronaldo Araujo will be a mainstay, along with Pau Cubarsi,
02:44who was very impressive last season.
02:48For the midfield position, there are Ilkay Gundogan and Frenkie de Jong.
02:52Even though he is no longer young, Ilkay Gundogan can still compete at the highest level.
02:58The German midfielder will be relied on again and can have a big impact in Barcelona's
03:02midfield.
03:03Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong is another good midfielder that Barcelona has, the Dutch player
03:08can play an important role under Hansi Flick.
03:12Apart from that, Barcelona also still has Pedri, who could be an option in midfield.
03:19In attack, Lamain Yamal could become the main star at Barcelona.
03:23The winger from Spain has extraordinary speed and skill.
03:27For the main striker, Robert Lewandowski can still be relied on.
03:32His duet with Lamain Yamal will make Barcelona's front line scary for opposing teams.
03:37Especially if Nico Williams officially joins, with the composition of the existing players
03:43and the possibility of adding new players, Barcelona seems ready to compete again at
03:46the highest level and win the title next season.
