Barça receives a million-dollar offer to play in Morocco: Flick will decide

FC Barcelona, due to its sporting and media appeal —being one of the most important clubs in the world—, will probably be one of the most requested teams during these months without official competition. In turn, the fact that they will not participate in the new FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held from June 14th in the United States, increases their availability for friendly commitments.

In this sense, according to Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana team has received a very attractive economic offer to play a friendly match in Morocco on July 20th, against a competitive-level opponent. This duel would be located just a few days before the start of the 2025/26 preseason tour of Asia.

However, this possible duel is subject to a fundamental condition: the approval of coach Hansi Flick. The German coach, known for his meticulousness in matters of physical preparation and sports planning, will have the final say.

If he considers that the match does not interfere with the team's training plans, the friendly will take place. In addition, the trip would be logistically favorable, given that the journey between Spain and Morocco is short —approximately two hours of flight— and would allow a round trip without major complications.
