– According to press reports, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is urging sporting director Deco to compete with Real Madrid in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck, whose contract expires next June.
This comes after Flick’s dissatisfaction with the defence’s performance in recent matches, with the German coach believing that the team needs a radical change to strengthen its defensive solidity and restore balance in the coming period.
