According to reports, the number of people present in Barcelona’s first-team dressing room under Hansi Flick is decreasing day by day. The number of individuals involved in the team’s daily life is shrinking, and contact with those outside the players’ circle is becoming increasingly limited.

Alejandro Echevarria, the club’s honorary security coordinator, is the architect and executor of this plan. He aims to minimize the number of people around the players and has found an ally in the German coach, who has always sought to keep the dressing room sacred and isolated.

Even doctors no longer have constant access to the first team’s dining hall at the Sant Joan Despí sports complex. Only those whose presence is deemed essential are allowed entry.

The media department has also been affected, distancing itself further from the team’s daily operations. This policy extends to travel, with only essential personnel accompanying the team, sometimes even flying on scheduled flights the day after matches instead of the team’s chartered plane.

This shift aims to change intermediaries and build new bridges. In a surprising recent development, Barcelona’s young Hungarian goalkeeper from the academy is set to renew his contract soon.

Everyone agrees he is Barcelona’s future goalkeeper. The 19-year-old, who stands at 1.85 meters tall, joined the club in 2022, and his contract expires this summer.

Months ago, negotiations reached a deadlock, and he was suspended for several games after rejecting a contract extension. However, weeks ago, he signed with Pini Zahavi, Robert Lewandowski’s agent, who also manages Hansi Flick and has close ties to club president Joan Laporta—a move seen as a goodwill gesture by the club.

He immediately returned to the squad, and his situation at the club has completely changed. Barcelona is now ready to negotiate a new contract, and barring last-minute changes, the renewal will happen soon, securing a top goalkeeper for years to come.
