Hansi Flick Sets Barcelona Transfer Priority as Striker Search Hinges on Ferran Torres

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has confirmed the club remains committed to securing a specialist striker before the summer window closes, underscoring the tactical necessity of reinforcing the frontline. He retains full confidence in sporting director Deco to execute the operation.

Any formal movement hinges on squad dynamics — specifically the immediate future of Ferran Torres, whose situation will dictate how the club navigates the remaining days.

Lamine Yamal can function as a false nine, while Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi offer versatility across the front three. Yet an established No. 9 remains the primary target, Flick said.

The German coach also ruled out midfield reinforcements despite Frenkie de Jong‘s injury, citing sufficient central depth.
