Barcelona Open Talks on Hansi Flick Extension to 2028 as Coach Opts to Wait Until Season’s End

Club leaders view an early renewal as a way to secure continuity before elections.

Overview

  • Reports from BILD relayed by multiple outlets say Barcelona have proposed a one‑year add‑on to keep Flick under contract through June 2028.
  • Flick’s current deal runs to June 2027 after a one‑season extension signed in May.
  • Laporta met Flick’s agent Pini Zahavi in Barcelona, with sporting director Deco later joining, to pave the way for the renewal.
  • Mundo Deportivo and Football España report Flick prefers short commitments and has told the club he will revisit talks at the end of the season.
  • Barcelona’s push is aimed at avoiding a scenario where he enters 2026–27 with less than a year left and at deterring outside interest ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
