Hansi Flick continues to keep a special eye on 19-year-old Barcelona quarry winger | OneFootball

Hansi Flick’s arrival at FC Barcelona has spelt nothing but good news for aspiring youngsters. Many players have even ended up debuting under the German coach, and Barça quarry winger Dani Rodriguez was one of them. Unfortunately, an injury last season ruined his debut and put him on the sidelines for a lengthy duration.

Still, despite that awkward debut, Hansi Flick reportedly continues to keep an eye on him. As highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, the German coach remains attentive regarding his situation and is seriously considering him as an option for the upcoming season.

While further discussions with Deco will be needed before any final calls are made, Rodriguez continues to be a standout quarry talent. After all, it was no mere coincidence that Hansi Flick decided to give him his first team debut last season.

Fortunately for the player, the Barça coach continues to back him. However, as pointed out by MD, he will need to step things up as well and earn the right to feature for the first team and bounce back from his recent injury.

Either way, it is true that the club has always progressed well when youngsters have been trusted and given opportunities. Barça has done this successfully several times before, and Rodriguez could surely provide some additional depth to the winger role. Fortunately, that position is already well-covered thanks to various players impressing during the recent preseason tour.
