Barcelona and Flick in Contract Extension Discussions

By Trendy Daily News

Barcelona and head coach Hansi Flick are discussing a potential contract extension through 2027.

Flick’s current contract, signed upon his appointment last summer, runs through the 2025-26 season.

Sources close to Flick report that contract discussions will continue after the 2024-25 season concludes, as attention remains on the remaining matches this term.

Barcelona currently leads La Liga, has qualified for the Copa del Rey final, and holds a 4-0 advantage after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.

At Friday’s pre-match press conference before the Leganes match, Flick addressed questions about his future at the club. “I am not a coach that wants to stay and sign a contract for let’s say three years and stay here with everything sorted,” he stated.

“My plan is to do one year, then we speak and see where we are, and go like that. Step by step. Paso a paso. Not longer than that. In the end, I don’t know how long it will take, but when I finish my job in this club, I want to do it on a good note.”

Regarding his current position, Flick said: “I enjoy Barcelona, the city, the people, we are happy to live here. I have a lot of energy and thoughts in my head of what we can do to make the team better, but we are at the beginning of this project.”

Barcelona holds a four-point lead over Real Madrid in La Liga with eight matches remaining. The team will face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.

The second leg of Barcelona’s Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund is scheduled for Tuesday in Dortmund, following Barcelona’s 4-0 victory in
