Barcelona have work to do in the offices over the coming months. One of the most pressing issues is to find out who will be the team's coach next season, given that Xavi has already publicly announced that he will be leaving the bench at the end of the campaign.
Several names have already been linked with the 'cule' club, including Hansi Flick and Roberto de Zerbi, with 'AS' indicating that the Italian is the most likely to arrive at the Camp Nou.
The current Brighton & Hove Albion coach is liked by both Joan Laporta, the club's president, and Deco, the sporting director in charge of signing the next Barcelona coach.
Barcelona, in fact, met with his agents but to discuss another issue, the renewal of Ronald Araujo. De Zerbi's name, according to the aforementioned source, came to light.
Barca are facing a stumbling block in their bid to sign the Italian for next season. De Zerbi has a clause of 10 million euros, something impossible for a club that is on a tight budget.
If De Zerbi has the approval of Laporta and Deco, it is because his style of play is, among the coaches of the 5 big leagues, the one that most resembles that of Guardiola's Barcelona.
That is the main reason why the Italian coach is at the top of the list of possible candidates, as well as the fact that there are other coaches who are impossible to convince at the moment, such as Jurgen Klopp.
