What happened. Barcelona's coaching staff, led by Hansi Flick, are committed to keeping Lamine Yamal on the right flank rather than moving him centrally, with new signings designed to create space for him.
- Flick experimented with Yamal through the middle last season but won't continue.
- Yamal himself expects to move central eventually, but club takes gradual approach.
- Arrivals of Gordon and Adeyemi help create spaces for Yamal on the right.
Barcelona are also still pursuing Julian Alvarez to bolster their attack further.
