FC Barcelona has seen a remarkable improvement in their defensive performance compared to last season. Hansi Flick, as the new coach, has solidified a defense that combines experience and youth. The central duo of Pau Cubarsí and Íñigo Martínez stands out for their solidity and understanding.
On the right flank, Jules Koundé has exceeded all expectations. His versatility has found an optimal point in this position, where, in addition to his defensive solidity, he has been a constant support for Lamine Yamal in attack.
Concerns with Alejandro Balde><
However, not everything is positive in the Blaugrana defense. The left-back position remains a point of concern. Alejandro Balde, despite his talent and youth, hasn’t completely convinced Hansi Flick.

The German coach appreciates his quality but believes that his physical fragility and lack of consistency limit the team. This has led Flick to request a top-tier reinforcement for that position.
Alphonso Davies, the chosen one
The name leading the list of potential signings is Alphonso Davies. The Canadian, considered one of the best left-backs in the world, is Barça’s main target.
Davies hasn’t renewed his contract with Bayern Munich yet, which opens a window of opportunity for the Catalans. Starting in January, Davies could negotiate directly with the Blaugrana club if he doesn’t reach a new agreement with the Bavarians.

A strategic operation
Bringing in Davies would be a key strategic move for Barça. His arrival would strengthen the left side, providing the stability and level of excellence that Flick demands.
According to sources close to the club, Joan Laporta and Deco are already working on this operation, aware that the Canadian could be a transformative signing for the team.
The future of Balde
With the possible arrival of Alphonso Davies, Alejandro Balde’s future at Barça is up in the air. Although his talent is undeniable, direct competition with a player of Davies’ caliber could relegate him to the bench or force his departure. A loan or transfer would be an option to allow him to gain experience and establish himself as a player.
FC Barcelona seems determined not to miss the chance to sign Alphonso Davies. This move would not only meet Hansi Flick’s demands but also strengthen the team’s position in the European elite. The final decision will depend on the Canadian, but everything points to Barça being ready to make a strong bid for him.
