FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick prepares to evaluate new talents in preseason
- FC Barcelona's 2025 preseason training started on July 13, 2025.
- Ten players from Barca Atletic are being evaluated to potentially join the senior team.
- The inclusion of new talents aims to maintain and enhance the club's competitive edge in upcoming tournaments.
In Catalonia, FC Barcelona's head coach Hansi Flick began evaluating a total of ten new players from the reserve team, Barca Atletic, during the team's preseason training that commenced on July 13, 2025. This timing was significant as it aligned with Lamine Yamal's 18th birthday. The club aims to capitalize on the talent from its youth academy, La Masia, and integrate promising players into the senior team before the preseason tour of Asia, which will lead to the Joan Gamper Trophy match on August 10 and the start of the La Liga season on August 16 with an away match against Mallorca. Flick is particularly interested in identifying players who can contribute to the team's success following their treble-winning season in Spain. The ten players being evaluated include Landry Farre, Toni Fernandez, Guillermo Fernandez, Jan Virgili, Juan Hernandez, Ibrahim Diarra, Jofre Torrents, Pedro Fernandez, Dani Rodriguez, and Roony Bardghji, with the latter being a recent signing from FC Copenhagen, expected to bolster competition in the squad.
