According to Gerard Romero, manager Hansi Flick is making a strong push for the club to secure the signing of a new centre-back before the transfer window officially comes to a close. Flick is convinced that adding another defensive option is crucial for strengthening the team’s structure and balance moving forward.
The German coach believes that while the squad already has solid defenders, the addition of another top-quality centre-back would not only provide more depth but also raise the overall level of competition within the team. Injuries, suspensions, and fatigue are always a reality during a long season, and having reliable options at the back could make the difference in crucial matches.
Flick’s request also highlights his vision for building a team that is both defensively stable and tactically flexible. A new signing in that position would give him more options to adapt to different opponents and systems, ensuring the team can handle both domestic and European challenges effectively.
With the transfer window ticking down, the pressure is on the club’s board and sporting directors to respond quickly to Flick’s demands. The coming days could be decisive, as the manager continues to insist that a defensive reinforcement is not just a desire—but a necessity to compete at the highest level this season.
