‘Another La Masia gem’: Barca have an in-house solution to their left-wing problem after Nico Williams’ transfer collapse

La Masia Academy has rarely disappointed in times of need. Whenever a first-team position has to be filled, La Masia has a tailor-made profile ready to go.

With the failed transfer of Nico Williams, the Catalan giants face the stark possibility of starting the season without a natural left winger who excels in 1v1 scenarios.

However, this is where Barcelona’s emerging reserves tend to shine, with Dani Rodriguez emerging as the latest solution to Barça’s options.

Barcelona former director has high praise for the teenage sensation.

Dani could be the perfect option for Flick, as the player remains keen to stay at Barcelona and prove himself, having rejected offers from Athletic Club this summer.
