Barcelona aims to extend Hansi Flick's contract

Barcelona is looking to extend Hansi Flick's contract for another year. The current deal runs until 2026, but the club wants to secure his renewal this summer. Sporting director Deco aims to finalize the agreement to avoid speculation. Flick has focused on his current role and is not in a hurry to talk about an extension. However, Barcelona wants to ensure long-term stability and clear plans. Both the club and Flick have a strong working relationship, which is expected to make negotiations smooth. As part of the renewal, Flick will receive a salary increase. This comes in recognition of his successful time at the club since his appointment last summer. Initially, his contract was limited by the club's financial situation, but now they are ready to offer him a more appropriate salary. Flick supports Barcelona’s approach to player development. He values building the team internally rather than overspending on new players. He has pointed out areas that need strengthening, and the club is committed to making improvements while staying within their budget and La Liga’s salary cap rules. The club aims to retain its core players and prioritize contract renewals in the coming months. Flick feels comfortable at Barcelona but sees his time there as a potential three to four years before taking a break from football.
