With Hans-Dieter Flick’s arrival approaching, let’s list the Barcelona players who are unlikely to stay under the German as head coach.
**Frenkie de Jong**: Flick might want to replace the Dutch midfielder with Joshua Kimmich, a key player from his time at Bayern Munich. De Jong’s exit would also help Barcelona reduce their wage bill.
**Sergi Roberto**: The captain’s contract extension, which was supposed to be announced at the end of the season, is reportedly on hold. His future seems to depend on whether Xavi remains at Barcelona.
**Eric Garcia**: Although Xavi planned to keep the center-back, Flick might prefer to sell him for a decent fee.
**Oriol Romeu**: The defensive midfielder is expected to leave Barcelona regardless of who the manager is next season.
**Inigo Martinez**: Xavi’s personal signing, the 33-year-old center-back has performed well this season but has yet to be registered for the next campaign. Flick might agree to let him go.
**Marcos Alonso**: The Spaniard is set to join Atletico Madrid as a free agent, regardless of who manages Barcelona next season.
