FC Barcelona’s recent defeats have reopened a familiar discussion around the structure of Hansi Flick’s defence. The squad was strengthened heavily in midfield and attack during the summer, but the back line was left largely untouched after anticipated sales failed to generate enough room for further investment.

That decision has become more noticeable against elite opposition, with PSG and Real Madrid both finding ways to exploit Barça when possession was lost and the defensive line was forced to retreat quickly.

The club are now considering whether January should be used to correct that imbalance. According to Mundo Deportivo, among the names being discussed is Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez, who represents a very different type of target from Josko Gvardiol.
