Speaking to the press ahead of his side’s La Liga debut away to Elche on Sunday night, Flick was asked about players such as defenders Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde, along with Hector Fort and midfielder Marc Casado, who are currently training apart from the main squad as the club looks to move them on this summer.

“It’s a club situation. We’re making a lot of changes. We have to wait until the end of the transfer window,” explained Flick when asked about all four players.
Barcelona has signed Anthony Gordon, Rodrigo Hernandez, Joao Cancelo and Karim Adeyemi for its first team squad so far this summer, but Flick implied there will be more arrivals before the end of August.
“It’s normal when you decide you want new players: you think about how to make the team stronger,” added the coach, who made clear he had spoken to the quartet.
“This is our situation. We were clear with these players, and now we have to wait until the end (of the transfer window),” Flick concluded.
