"A recent report from COPE has offered an update on Hansi Flick's future at Barcelona. As per the report, the club have officially sounded out the manager to see if he would be willing to stay on for another year, extending his tenure until 2028. It must be noted that Flick's initial plan was to simply fulfil his current contract and retire upon its conclusion in 2027."
"His wife, daughters, and grandchildren - who often visit the training ground - consider Barcelona the ideal home. Most importantly, however, Flick's future appears tied to Joan Laporta. It appears the coach is in perfect harmony with the president and Sporting Director Deco, crediting Laporta for his arrival. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if Flick would agree to extend his stay should Laporta fail to win the next elections."
Hansi Flick has managed Barcelona for a year and a half and delivered improved cohesion, grit, and development for players such as Raphinha and Fermin López. Flick's contract runs until 2027. Barcelona have formally asked him to extend by one year, through 2028, and he has become more open to renewing while remaining undecided. Decisive negotiations are expected in early 2026. Flick is content in Catalonia, values the sporting project and La Masia talent, and his family is settled in the city. Flick's continuation appears linked to Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco, and may depend on Laporta's electoral future.
