Hansi Flick: Barcelona Must Reinforce Attack After Lewandowski, Rashford Exits

Barcelona need more attacking options, admits Hansi Flick 

Hansi Flick hints at new no.9 for Barcelona: Gordon, Adeyemi and Yamal can play there too. 

Flick says Barcelona must sign another forward amid Torres uncertainty...

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick said on Monday that the La Liga champions need to add another attacker, with uncertainty surrounding Ferran Torres and following the exits of Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford. 

The Catalan club have already tested the market, submitting an offer for Atletico Madrid and Argentina forward Julian Alvarez that was turned down.

“I have total confidence in (sporting director) Deco, we know that we have to do something,” Flick told reporters after an inter-squad match at St. George's Park in England, where Barca have been training.

“It also depends (what happens) about Ferran (Torres).”

Spain international Torres netted the winner in the World Cup final against Argentina and now has just one year remaining on his deal at Barcelona.

The forward has been linked with a move to Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain, who are managed by former Spain coach Luis Enrique.

Barcelona brought in Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi this summer for the senior squad, and Flick said both wide players could also operate up front. 

“Gordon and Adeyemi can play on both sides and as a number nine, so we have a lot of options actually,” Flick added, noting that Spanish teenager Lamine Yamal is also an option to play through the middle.
