Overview

  • Club president Joan Laporta said formal renewal talks with head coach Hansi Flick will take place after the season in remarks to MónEsport.
  • Flick’s current contract runs until the summer of 2027, and Barcelona plans a one-year add-on.
  • Laporta said Flick wants to discuss a new deal calmly and sees no reason to start early.
  • Calling Flick honest and professional, Laporta said the coach has earned a renewal and that it would be secured if the club can lock in the extra year.
  • Laporta added that Flick would likely refuse any commitment beyond 2028 to avoid the impression of relying on a long contract, as reported by SPORT1.
