Barcelona coach Flick calls on club leaders to support Casado amidst arrival of new player, Carlos Volcano

Barca have been strategizing for a midseason reinforcement in the midfield, as there are concerns about the current options available to Flick.

However, Sport says the German has been impressed by youngster Marc Casado, to the point that he is urging a rethink over their January transfer plans.

Flick feels that Casadó can handle the role of defensive midfielder and that there is therefore no need to sign anyone new for that position.

Flick also feels that Frenkie de Jong, Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen can play as a No6 if needed.
