Barcelona coach Hansi Flick reveals ONE Barca star can’t just wait to join Man United in January
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has reportedly grown frustrated after revealing that one of his key players appears completely distracted by a possible move to Old Trafford this January. The German coach admitted that the unnamed star has lost focus in training and seems more interested in Manchester United than in helping Barcelona achieve their goals this season.
According to Flick, the player’s attitude has changed drastically since United’s interest became public, and his lack of commitment is beginning to affect the atmosphere within the squad. Sources inside Barcelona say his teammates have also noticed a drop in energy and motivation, with some even claiming “his heart is already in England.”
The situation is creating tension in the dressing room as Flick, known for his no-nonsense approach, struggles to maintain discipline during what is meant to be a crucial rebuilding phase for the club. The coach is reportedly furious that transfer speculation is threatening to derail his long-term plans.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are said to be watching the situation very closely. Scouts from Old Trafford have been in Spain for several weeks, monitoring the player and gathering information. Insiders reveal that United’s new sporting director has marked the Barcelona star as a top target, believing he would be a perfect fit for Erik ten Hag’s new project under the INEOS ownership. The Premier League side is preparing a substantial bid that could seriously test Barcelona’s resolve when the transfer window opens.
The player — believed to be one of Barcelona’s most technically gifted — has privately expressed his excitement about joining United, describing it as his dream move and the next big challenge in his career. He is said to be motivated by the chance to play in the Premier League and contribute to United’s ambitious rebuild.
Flick, however, has drawn a clear line, insisting that he wants players who are fully committed to Barcelona. “I need players who give everything for this badge,” he said sternly in a recent press conference. “If someone’s mind is elsewhere, that’s unacceptable.”
With January drawing near, speculation is heating up over whether Barcelona will let him go or stand firm. Whatever happens, this unfolding saga promises to be one of the most dramatic transfer stories of the season — a battle between Barcelona’s pride and Manchester United’s growing ambition.
