Overview
- Barcelona have started negotiations to renew Hansi Flick’s contract through June 2028, according to BILD reporting carried by Yahoo Sports.
- Club leadership prefers to finalize the coach’s status early to avoid entering next season with only a year left on his deal, per the report.
- Flick is said to favor shorter agreements and renewed last May for a single season, though he is described as content in Barcelona and open to continuing.
- Joan Laporta recently met Flick’s agent Pini Zahavi in Barcelona to pave the way for a renewal that the board hopes to complete before presidential elections, the report says.
- Earlier reporting from Goal/AFP relaying BILD indicated the push reflects Barcelona’s strong form and a desire to deter outside interest ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
