“That’s something I strive for” ‐ Everton star eager to put himself in shop window as move to La Liga giants now a doubt
Fabrizio Romano has shed light on Barcelona’s wavering interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana. In an exclusive interview with Give Me Sport on June 5th, the Italian journalist hinted at the uncertainty surrounding Barcelona’s pursuit of the talented midfielder.
Romano revealed, “He’s also a player that Barcelona appreciated when Xavi was the manager. Let’s see what they will decide to do now with a new coach, like Hansi Flick.” This statement underlines the shifting dynamics within Barcelona’s managerial landscape and the subsequent impact on their transfer strategy.
The contrasting visions of former manager Xavi and incoming coach Hansi Flick could spell trouble for Onana’s prospects at the Catalan club. Flick’s tactical preferences may not align with Onana’s style of play, potentially diminishing Barcelona’s interest in the player.
For Everton, this development could signify a reprieve in their efforts to retain Onana amidst financial constraints. With the club grappling with financial difficulties, offloading the talented midfielder could provide a much-needed injection of funds.
As one of Everton’s most valuable assets, Onana’s departure could alleviate some of the financial pressures haunting the Merseyside-based club.
