Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has confirmed that the club are still working to add a striker before the transfer window closes, according to SPORT. Flick expressed complete confidence in sporting director Deco and said Barcelona need to strengthen the position.
Torres’ future could affect the search
Flick suggested that any move for a striker could depend on Ferran Torres’ situation. Torres’ future is therefore a factor in how Barcelona’s plans may develop before the window closes.
What internal options does Flick already have?
Flick stressed that Barcelona have several attacking options available while the club pursues a new No.9. He said Lamine Yamal can play as a false nine, while Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi are able to operate centrally or on either flank.
That flexibility gives Barcelona alternatives in attack, although Flick made clear that signing a specialist striker remains the preferred outcome. For now, the club can draw on those existing options as Deco continues his work in the market.
Midfield depth not a concern despite De Jong injury
Flick also dismissed the need for a new midfielder despite Frenkie de Jong’s injury, saying Barcelona already have sufficient depth in that area. That leaves striker as the club’s stated priority for the remainder of the transfer window.
Barcelona’s striker search continues
The report did not identify a confirmed target for Barcelona. Flick’s public position was limited to the club’s intention to strengthen in attack and his confidence in Deco to manage the search.
Barcelona’s pursuit of a new No.9 therefore remains ongoing, with Flick having underlined the importance of adding a striker before the window closes.
