You have it all mixed up, the coaching change happened because Xavi demanded new transfers, and Flick agreed that he would work without new transfer spending in the offseason. Obviously, this move when they decided not to extend Felix's loan and take Fati in his place. In fact, they should have kept Felix and taken Fati and maybe a few other good players, but the reality is that they simply cannot afford it.
Hansi Flick and Xavi Hernandez are different coach coming for the exact perspectives. Flick clinches on an incredible squad, he's ready to make things look easier for Barcelona while Xavi Hernandez also coupled with the rough season of Barcelona, he didn't give up and put in the work. The president, Joan Laporta was no longer comfortable with the system, he just had to find a way to ensure the safety of the club because they were trophyless the previous season, and making no encouraging stands, prompts him to fired Xavi and go in for Hansi Flick.

Don't get me wrong i don't say Fati is not good but he might play half of the season & injured the rest of the season
Actually, right now Barcelona is obviously in a poor financial situation. Taking these decisions definitely does not look very good for the future of Barcelona. But at the same time, not bringing in any players that the new coach wants will also not be good for the financial situation of Barcelona. That's why I think it was a big mistake for Barcelona to actually bring in a new coach in this situation. Now that they have brought in new coach, they will have to spend more money than they needed to if they had Xavi. But Barcelona have to spend right now, right? that's why they are trying to do almost anything to bring in the players that they want. Installments plans are not good for both parties in my opinion. And especially for the party that is selling the player. so it is understandable why many clubs or the clubs that Barcelona has approached for the players are not that interested in the team.
Even if Joao is not injured he will still not be able to be at Barcelona because it is indeed a bad financial condition that makes it difficult for him to be permanent so I think the right decision to re-take Ansu from Brighton because his loan is over with the current condition of Barcelona which is difficult to find new players.Actually, right now Barcelona is obviously in a poor financial situation.

He was once one of Barcelona's good talents, it's just that his bad luck because he had to struggle with injuries that made him eliminated from competition in the main line up. But for now there is no reason Barcelona should not use him. The winger position currently only has Ferran and Ansu, although there is currently Dani Olmo who can be played flexibly or maybe Gavi who can definitely recover next season but it looks like Flick will keep Dani Olmo and Gavi in the attacking midfield so the winger position will be given to Ansu or Ferran but for some time there may be some flexible changes later because we have to see his performance later on the field when the 2024/2025 season starts.

The final offer from Juventus to Atalanta for Koopeminers is set to be for this weekend.
The agent of the player is now following the team on social media and this can be a big clue for a deal already done.
It is rumored to be 50+5m €.
This is a huge expence for Serie A in the current situation but a good one for one of the top players in his role in the world.
Koop can be a starter in any team in Europe at the moment.

Girona's success last season was not just based on one player, but all the players actually worked according to what the coach expected. Girona plays with ambition and good tactics, of course this starts with a strong defense, creative midfielders and productive attackers. I applaud last season's performance, but I realize that their performance will never be the same next season due to several factors including the departure of several main players.I admit that Girona's game was very good with strategy and tactics, at least during the first half of the season even though at the end of the season they experienced a decline.
We'll see, but I want to say that the sale of Artem Dovyk will be a loss even though they are currently benefiting from the costs obtained from Artem Dovyk.
Mikel Merino is about to join Arsenal and play for this team soon. Arsenal want to get the team improved and finally win the premier league title from Manchester City after years of losing it and that's why they decided to hire more players for Arteta.
They want to hire Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Merino has good physics and since he is not going to expensive option for Arsenal and they should only pay 30 million euros he is a good option for Arteta and his team.

I like the energy that Arsenal is showing this season, they are showing that they are going to play very well this season, I love it when a team signs more talented players to improve the team's performance, arsenal did not sign players last season like this season and I think that’s one of the things that affect, a team should sign players who are very good and strong that they can help the team, I like the way Arteta is doing now to improve the squad, if arsenal signs strong players I believe that they can be able to compete with Manchester City and also win a trophy.
Arsenal is doing a great job but they haven’t done it all because I’m still not satisfied with Arsenal wing players, I always mention Saka's position whenever I talk about Arsenal, saka needs an assist in that position, I’m very sure of what I’m saying, Saka needs an assist in the position because if we look at it when Saka got injury the team find it difficult to get someone to play the position, Arsenal need another right winger that will help saka because the pressure will be too much for him and when pressure is too much a player will be tire and won’t be able to perform well in some matches.
Actually, I quite feel sorry for Hansi Flick. He is a great coach, and indeed Barcelona is also a great team but I think Hansi Flick came to Barcelona at the wrong time. Like Xavi, Hansi Flick will most likely face the same problem. Barcelona's financial problems make them have limited spending. So it is clearly quite difficult for Barcelona to get Nico Williams and Dani Olmo at the same time unless they want to let go of some of their players to get fresh income that they can use. Another option is to reduce the salary budget for the players but obviously, it can trigger disharmony and I think that will be a tough problem for the new coach.
How Arsenal aren't going for Osimhen with everything they have got is still amazing me because, that's what big teams do.
Manchester City needed a CF and went all out for Haaland. They simply showed workings and got their man. Osimhen price has really dropped down. It’s now below €100. That, for me, is the level raiser.
Maybe, either Osimhen isn't Arteta’s undisputed first choice or they are still not sure if they need an out and out striker or a winger. I said so because i have seen how they go for the players that they want aggressively.

Arsenal won't go for Osimhen because he is not a stable player and he is expensive for Arsenal. In fact, we can't be sure what kind of performance Osimhen can have in the other teams than Napoli. He had a good performance in the last season but recently he was totally not in the good form and he couldn't have good performance anymore while Osimhen was playing in the same team. This can make Osimhen an unstable player and this won't make him a good option for Arsenal because of his price the have to pay which is 100 million euros and his performance.

Once again Arsenal have secured a quality player and I think the decision to sign Mikel Merino is the right one. This will give Arsenal a much more creative midfield and Mikel Arteta a lot of variety in attack. I still remember Mikel Merino scoring one of the important goals when he was with Spain in the Euros and since then I think he is an underrated player who is rarely noticed.They want to hire Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Merino has good physics and since he is not going to expensive option for Arsenal and they should only pay 30 million euros he is a good option for Arteta and his team.
The fee is much more affordable considering Arsenal have no competition for Mikel Merino's services and I don't think the fee from Real Sociedad is too big to increase profits. What is clear is that the relationship between Arsenal and Real Sociedad will be better in the future and I can't wait for another transfer from Arsenal that will be even more surprising.
What I really like about this signing is that;
1. He makes more tackles than Rice
2. He has far more aerial duel wins
3. Wins more duels(obviously)
4. Wins more GROUND duels
5. More ball recoveries than Rice.
Now, when you watch Rice, the guy does all these things exceptionally well. Rarely has lapses. But with these metrics that Merino is bringing, Its exciting to see how they will both complement each other on the field.
Its crazy offer giving Barcelona for signing Dani Olmo trough installments payment because Leipzig won't sell his players without getting cash once time.
Dani Olmo have impressive performance for Leipzig last season and success keep his consistency performance in Euro 2024 with Spain, currently not only with Barcelona but also Manchester City have interested for signing Dani Olmo and give more excited offering than Barcelona.
Barcelona need to sell their players and get fund for signing Dani Olmo with full payment without installments, based on market values of Dani Olmo around 64 million euro Barcelona need that amount if want sign Olmo or waiting until his contract expiring around several years later with RB Leipzig.
Barcelona is trying to force it and in my opinion this is because of panic in preparing strength for next season. Buying Dani Olmo in installments will force their finances to be unstable and on another occasion they also want young player Nico Williams so that it will increase the financial burden at the same time. The club where they play will definitely let go when they get an offer like what they want, but I doubt Barcelona can buy them both at the same time.Dani Olmo have impressive performance for Leipzig last season and success keep his consistency performance in Euro 2024 with Spain, currently not only with Barcelona but also Manchester City have interested for signing Dani Olmo and give more excited offering than Barcelona.

What Barcelona needs to do is to make the club's finances more stable and buying players in the hope of competing with other clubs will be very difficult in the midst of poor financial conditions. The strength they have now is quite good although it will take time for them to develop very well.

Osimhen was one of the players who entered the Arsenal target radar and some time ago the rumors were increasingly sticking out, but at this time it seemed like it was sinking again. I don't know for sure whether this is because they are not really interested or they don't want to spend a little big money to get Osimhen's signature. Apart from that, maybe they also still have some names that they are ready to be after but they have not published it.Manchester City needed a CF and went all out for Haaland.

Arsenal with a play style without target in front as did Manchester City. But for last season and the previous few seasons were quite effective for them when doing that strategy. Mikel Arteta has been in Arsenal for a long time, so he should have been very familiar with the needs of the team, if they need to use a pure striker as a target ahead, or he feels that the strategy he often uses is still enough for Arsenal to achieve an achievement. Let's wait until the announcement of the transfer window is closed

His first season at Barcelona may be difficult, but when he enters his second season, he may find success with Barcelona.

Yeah I also heard this news at least Arsenal are eyeing 2 players from Spain Mikel Merino and Fabián Ruiz, for some reason so far Arsenal have only focused on the defense and midfield even though we know they also need a striker. I honestly don't understand what Arteta is planning by bringing in midfielders and defenders while Arsenal still holds the record as the team with the best defense last season because they only conceded 29 goals and be the least compared to other teams so why is Arsenal still strengthening that position? So far I am not too sure if Arsenal can replace Manchester City to win the trophy unless Arsenal have a new player in attack line.

He's only getting a burden as a coach with so many targets and terms from Barcelona. Also, don't mind a target from your fans, and this would not be affecting how well your career in Barcelona. It's rare to see the team's decision being intervened by the fans. Also, the financial issue in Barcelona is the club's fault. Hansi Flick cannot be blamed.
Barcelona fans know well the financial state of their club. This is why they are not putting high expectations for Flick's job as a new coach.
so, for the moment he is not coming back but if he has a good project he will be back in the future. IMHO.
I don't know why Jurgen Klopp is confusing people on the future of his career, he initially said he was going for a break and would be back, but now he says he might not be back again. I think the media should just let Jurgen Klopp be, and allow him decide what he wants to do with his career in private. If he eventually returns to management, then great, but if he does not, i wish him all the best with his family, having fun in a beach and living a quiet life.So far Klopp hasn't decide will retired permanently from football which mean after his break then Klopp probably will thinking possibility to return to training the particular teams but he says everything will be decided in the next several months depend on the situations and indeed currently Klopp has been rumoured to several national team and clubs but apparently that is only remains rumour because until now Klopp still have new clubs
The latest rumour i have read is Klopp was linked to England National Team and we all know after Southgate was withdraw from his position currently England have no manager and so far England Football federation still attempts want to hire new managers and previously this team was linked to Guardiola but this rumour was never happend because apparently Guardiola not interested to train England even so with Klopp that he has no plan to being an new manager of England and Klopp has been refuse that rumour too
