According to World Sports, Frick hopes that Barcelona will introduce a high-level left winger, and he is interested in introducing Bayern winger Koeman.

The transfer market this summer is not going well, with Nico Williams and Luis Dias being a popular target for Barcelona, but the former decided to stay at Athletic Bilbao a few weeks ago, while the latter belongs to Liverpool, which has been insisting that the winger will not be sold.

Meanwhile, Frick almost could only rely on the original team who won the La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup last season, except for introducing goalkeeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol and Swedish midfielder Badgi signed from Copenhagen.

The most active winger on the market is Koeman, who Frick is very familiar with. During his coaching at Bayern, Frick praised and reused the French international many times. Koeman, 29, became the second major target for ambitious Galatasaray, after they had signed Sane.

Koeman's contract with Bayern expires in 2027, and Bayern is now focusing on signing Stuttgart's 23-year-old midfielder Walter Mad. Coincidentally, Galatasaray is also pursuing Luis Dias, a player who is also Barcelona's favorite.

In December 2020, in his second season at Bayern, Frick praised Koeman after his match against Leipzig. He even said Gnabri and Sane should take Koeman as an example: "We have very good wingers. Now it can be said that Koeman is the one who makes the difference, he can threaten the goal and provide assists, and I hope everyone can reach his level."

Frick emphasized at the time: "Very few people have the ability that Koeman is in that position." In that game, Koeman scored a hat-trick to assist, and Frick described him as a "fast, witty and good at finding opportunities." At that time, Sane was one of the new players introduced by Bayern sports director Salihamidic, but his defensive performance did not satisfy Frick.

It is worth mentioning that Koeman scored the winning goal in the 2020 Champions League final, helping Frick win the Champions League championship in his coaching career at Bayern. Koeman has been an important player under Flick in the last two full seasons of his collaboration.

In the 2019/20 season, Bayern finally won the triple championship, with Koeman making 38 appearances, playing in a total of 2,424 minutes, contributing 8 goals and 7 assists. Over the next season, Koeman played 2518 minutes in 39 games, scoring 8 goals and sending 14 assists.
