Major Shock at Barcelona Following Flick’s Final Call! “I don’t want him in my squad—he’s too accustomed to failure.” In a bold and uncompromising move, German coach Hansi Flick has issued a direct order to Barcelona’s management to exclude a specific player from the club’s pre-season tour. The decision not only removes the player from current preparations but also firmly ends any chance of him being part of the team for the upcoming season.

In the coming days, FC Barcelona is expected to undergo significant internal changes, particularly within the dressing room, as new head coach Hansi Flick begins to implement a transformative strategy aimed at reshaping the squad ahead of the upcoming season.

According to sources close to the coaching staff, Flick has already launched a comprehensive restructuring initiative designed to elevate team performance and foster a more unified, competitive group capable of reclaiming domestic and European success.

One of the first moves under this new vision involves a potential midfield departure. Early indications suggest that a current midfielder may be shown the exit, following a detailed evaluation that concluded the player’s continued inclusion in the squad would neither enhance the team technically nor offer financial value going forward. The midfielder in question is Oriol Romeu.

Spanish journalist Lobo Carrasco has reported that Flick is planning a private meeting with Romeu in the coming days to officially inform him that he is not part of his tactical plans. The coach is also expected to advise the player to explore opportunities with other clubs during the ongoing summer transfer window.

Romeu joined Barcelona just last season from Girona in a move that raised eyebrows, especially among those now overseeing the club’s direction. Despite his vast experience, Romeu failed to make a meaningful impact or win the confidence of the technical staff. His lack of influence on the pitch has been a source of concern for the current management.

Reports suggest that Flick has been especially critical of the decision by former management figures—President Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco—to sign Romeu for €5 million.

The German coach is said to have labeled the transfer as “incomprehensible,” questioning both the technical merit and investment logic behind bringing in a player of Romeu’s profile and age.

Flick maintains that continuing to endorse such transfers, which do not meet the evolving demands of modern football, would only obstruct the club’s rebuilding mission. His strategy emphasizes not only skill but also athletic and psychological readiness. In his view, aligning the squad with these principles is essential to restoring Barcelona’s status as a dominant force in football.
