FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly aiming to raid his former team Bayern Munich for one of their stars.
The Catalan giants had been chasing Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams for the past couple months, but it seems the Spaniard will not be leaving the Basque city.
The LaLiga giants will now have to turn their attention elsewhere as the new coach aims to freshen up the squad.

According to Sky Sports, Flick is now considering a move for Bavarians winger Kingsley Coman as an alternative to missing out on Williams.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg has also confirmed there has been contact between the two clubs, with a possible loan deal on the cards.
"In the past few days, there has also been contact between Barcelona and Kingsley #Coman's representatives," Plettenberg said on X.
"Barca has been informed that a loan deal with FC Bayern is possible."
"Since Barcelona has not yet fully given up on Nico #Williams, the situation with Coman is not currently a hot topic. However, it could heat up towards the end of August if Barcelona manages to offload some players (also to free up wages).

"Hansi Flick and Coman have a mutual respect for each other. Coman returned to team training with Bayern a few days ago."
Coman scored the winning goal in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final for Bayern when Flick was in charge of the club.
