Hansi Flick speaks on Barcelona’s January transfer plans | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has spoken out on the possibility of the club bringing in a new defender this winter.

This of course comes fresh off a heavy blow at the heart of the Blaugrana’s backline.

Flick and his coaching staff were on Sunday made aware that they will be forced to make do without the services of Andreas Christensen for the foreseeable future.

After pulling up during training on Saturday, the Dane was put through an ensuing round of medical tests yesterday morning.

And as much revealed a partial ACL tear in his left knee.

With Barca already short on options at centre-half amid the ongoing absence of Ronald Araújo, the subject of potential January signings was on Sunday evening put to manager Hansi Flick.

And the German went on to respond as follows:

“Defender in January transfer window? We’ll see. I’ll talk to Deco, maybe tomorrow, not today. For me, first and foremost, the important thing is that Andreas (Christensen) returns in good shape.”
