Former FC Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has expressed optimism regarding the club’s Champions League prospects under manager Hansi Flick, noting the team’s talent and leadership. During his comments, Busquets praised Cesc Fàbregas for his successful management of the Italian club Como.

Following these remarks, reports indicate that FC Barcelona is monitoring Fàbregas as a potential long-term successor to Flick. While the club is satisfied with Flick’s current tenure, leadership is reportedly impressed by Fàbregas’s ability to transform Como from Serie B to Champions League competition and significantly increase the squad’s market value. A high-ranking official has allegedly suggested that Fàbregas contact the club once his project at Como concludes.
