According to Sport, Barcelona has decided to temporarily postpone plans to build dedicated accommodation for first-team players at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The club will prioritize current funding and construction resources for a new gymnasium project, both facilities previously requested by head coach Hansi Flick.

As revealed by the podcast "Barça Reservat", Barcelona initially planned to build a centralized accommodation facility for the first team next to the Tito Vilanova training pitch, but the club has now decided to temporarily postpone this project and focus on the new gymnasium, which is currently under construction.

The accommodation was originally planned as an exclusive space for first-team players, primarily for centralized lodging before matches and rest areas following matches and training sessions. Since Flick's arrival, Barcelona has reinstated the practice of having the entire team stay together before certain matches, even home fixtures. The club had previously approved the relevant construction plans.

However, due to a reorganization of the club's current infrastructure project priorities, this plan has been temporarily shelved. According to "Barça Reservat", the first-team accommodation project is now estimated to cost approximately 12 to 14 million euros, significantly higher than the initial budget of around 6 million euros.

Barcelona's decision does not mean the project is permanently canceled, but rather postponed for future implementation.

The club's current priority is completing the new gymnasium located adjacent to the Tito Vilanova training pitch. This facility was also requested by Flick, with the goal of expanding the first team's physical training space.

Currently, the gymnasium in one of the buildings at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper can no longer adequately meet the first team's needs. As the team increasingly emphasizes physical training, recovery, and individual player development, the existing space has become too small.

The new gymnasium is being built in close proximity to the training pitch and will feature large glass windows, allowing players to view the pitch directly while training indoors. The main structural work is now largely complete.

Once the new facility is operational, Barcelona's first team will be able to more easily combine on-pitch training with specialized physical training such as strength, flexibility, and speed work, as well as recovery sessions.

Therefore, Barcelona currently views the new gymnasium as a more pressing need for Flick's coaching staff, while the first-team accommodation project has been postponed to the next construction phase.
