New Barca coach Hansi Flick has probably found what he is looking for in his former team. Kingsley Coman is set to revitalize the Catalans' attacking play. They have already enjoyed success together at Bayern. But in order to finance him, they first have to part with a player. 

Flick is already working on the squad for the coming season at Barcelona. He has allegedly identified a building block at his former club. Bayern winger Coman is said to have a prominent place on his wish list, reports "l'Équipe". According to the report, the Frenchman could replace Raphinha at the Catalans.

Barca are said to be not entirely satisfied with the Brazilian and would not be averse to selling him. There is said to be interest from the Premier League in particular. The income and salary savings could clear the way for Coman. 

Injuries as a problem
Flick definitely has a need for new impetus on the wings. Recently, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal in particular has delivered consistently, but will definitely need support and an experienced team-mate alongside him in the coming season. Coman could well be that person.

Although the Frenchman feels at home in Munich, his future at the record champions is by no means secure. Those responsible want to revamp the squad with new coach Vincent Kompany. Although Coman continues to enjoy a high reputation at the record champions, his susceptibility to injury is a problem. Bayern could be tempted by a lucrative offer - his market value is around 50 million euros. However, it is questionable whether the cash-strapped Catalans would be able to put together such a package despite selling him.
