Barcelona players are showing a noticeable dip in performance, far from their peak form, which has raised concerns for coach Hansi Flick.
He is particularly worried about the underachievement of key players who were once considered essential to the squad.
Given the club’s financial struggles, Barcelona is looking to strengthen its roster with high-quality signings to restore its position in European football.
In an interview with the Catalan newspaper Sport, football icon Thierry Henry, who has extensive experience in European football, urged Barcelona to quickly reinforce their midfield. He specifically recommended Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana from Aston Villa as the perfect replacement for Marc Casado.
Before joining Aston Villa last summer, Onana had played for Everton, and Henry had previously suggested to Hansi Flick that Barcelona should target him, recognizing Onana’s potential to stabilize the midfield.
Onana is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders, known for his physicality, tactical intelligence, and ball control.
Henry emphasized that signing Onana is crucial for Barcelona to regain dominance in the midfield and urged the club to pursue the deal at any cost, as his arrival is expected to make a significant impact on the team in the near future.
