Hansi Flick’s project manages to convince €45m Barcelona midfielder on a sporting level | OneFootball

Slowly but surely, FC Barcelona has found a new identity under the leadership of Hansi Flick. Despite still staying true to the club’s roots, the German coach has enabled the side to adapt to a new philosophy. With a combination of his ideas and the Barcelona ideology, the team looks better than ever.

Outclassing sides like SL Benfica in the UEFA Champions League now, it is no secret that La Blaugrana are confident in themselves right now. However, this confidence is something that can have an impact far beyond what the team only accomplishes on the pitch.

However, the praise for this revitalized Barcelona team has to go to its players as well as the coach himself. Several stars have risen up to the occasion and have helped establish the team as one of the biggest threats on the European stage this season.

One such key piece of the puzzle for Hansi Flick is also Frenkie de Jong, despite the fact that the Dutchman’s future looked uncertain at a point this season. Now, instead of being worried about that or his previous injury issues, the 27-year-old midfielder has finally found his best version again.

With Barcelona also succeeding and showcasing immense strength across every competition, SPORT reports that it has had a positive impact on De Jong’s perception as well. From a sporting perspective, the Dutchman is now more than convinced with what Hansi Flick’s project has to offer.

Against Benfica, Frenkie de Jong, who is €45 million-rated on Transfermarkt, had 81 minutes played during which he completed 76 passes out of the 79 he attempted. Yet another outstanding display from the midfielder that allowed others in his team to thrive, it is clear to see just how in-form the player now is.

Moreover, these positive results on the pitch could also play a major role in his renewal. With Barcelona reportedly having sent an offer already, SPORT highlights that it is mainly only the financial aspect of the negotiations that needs to be settled as the sporting project is already more than convincing.
