German manager Hansi Flick addressed the media in his final press conference of the La Liga season on Saturday, ahead of Barcelona’s clash with Athletic Bilbao in the final round. The club had already wrapped up the league title two weeks earlier with a key win over Espanyol in Round 36.
In his debut season, Flick led Barcelona to a domestic treble—winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup—while also guiding the team to the Champions League semi-finals, where controversial officiating reportedly played a role in their exit against Inter Milan.
Now, with the summer transfer window underway, Flick is working closely with sporting director Deco to strengthen the squad, particularly the attacking department. The goal is to provide more depth and experience to support rising stars like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
Among the top names on Barça’s shortlist are Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and Liverpool’s Luis Díaz. When asked about them during the press conference, Flick responded, as quoted by *Metro*:
**“They’re two great players. I admire them a lot, and we’ll see what the transfer window brings.”**
The British outlet interpreted Flick’s remarks as a clear hint that Barcelona are seriously pursuing both players. The potential double signing would be a major statement of intent as the club looks to maintain its competitive edge in both domestic and European competitions next season.
