Flick eyes winning Mestalla send-off, says Lewandowski exit decided and attack needs reinforcements | OneFootball

According to Superdeporte, Hansi Flick said finishing at Mestalla with a win would be a positive sign, and Barcelona want to take the last game against a Valencia side still chasing Europe.

On planning, he said that, as things stand, Robert Lewandowski is the only exit already decided, and he called for a reliable forward to deepen the attack.

He is in no rush over Ferran Torres's renewal. Torres leads the Trofeo Zarra with 16 goals and has one year left.

Flick left the door open for Hamza Abdel, on loan with Juvenil A from Al Ahly, who will be assessed in pre-season as the club studies a 3 million euros option.

Fermín López has had surgery on a fifth metatarsal in his right foot, ruling him out of the next World Cup. Jules Koundé skipped Friday training with minor discomfort, a precaution with the tournament in mind.

Flick confirmed Thiago Alcântara will leave the coaching staff and thanked him for his work.

Asked about Pep Guardiola leaving Manchester City after a decade, he said he cannot imagine staying that long at Barcelona, called Guardiola the best coach in the world, and restated his commitment to the Champions League push.
