Spain’s champion favoured for De Jong role
Press reports have confirmed that Hans Flick, Barcelona's coach, has begun redrawing the central midfield plan due to the repeated injuries of Frenkie de Jong, which have kept him out of the team's main options. Flick prefers to sign Rodri, the Manchester City player who was crowned Best Player at the 2026 World Cup, because of his physical stability and experience in leading the midfield in major matches. It is believed that Rodri's addition would give Barcelona better defensive balance, ease pressure on Busquets, and strengthen the midfield's resilience. However, the transfer faces obstacles such as Manchester City’s insistence on extending his contract and the possibility that Barcelona might be forced to sell de Jong to finance the deal. Acquiring Rodri is considered one of Flick's top objectives to ensure the team’s effective leadership in the coming years.
