“Real Madrid, their President and their board of directors deeply regret the passing of the father of Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s manager,” Madrid’s statement said. “Real Madrid wishes to express its condolences and affection to his family and all his loved ones. Rest in peace.”

Hansi Flick reportedly stops Barcelona's move for Alessandro Bastoni due to tactical concerns and the need to find a faster partner for Pau Cubarsí.

The coach was surprised by the winger.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is unsure whether the club will be able to sign Joao Cancelo on a permanent basis during this summer's transfer window.
