There is no doubt that the arrival of Hansi Flick on the FC Barcelona bench has been a turning point in the Blaugrana team’s performances. Despite it only being a few months since his arrival, the German coach has been able to make the Catalan team play exactly the way he wants them to.

His training and playing methods are also bearing fruit, as Barcelona have emerged as one of the most exciting teams in Europe this season. The Catalans have already won a trophy this season, the Spanish Super Cup, and their performances against even the top European teams have also been highly encouraging.

In such a context, SPORT reports that the Blaugranes are very satisfied with Flick’s work up to now and are quite clear about the German’s continuity. Thus, the Catalans want to extend his contract, which expires in 2026, and will start talks with him for this purpose in June.

Barcelona do not want Flick to go into the next season with only one year left on his contract, but will not start talks with him till the end of this season.

Meanwhile, the coach himself is delighted to be at the Catalan club, and although he signed initially only for two years, he is willing to remain at the Blaugrana side for the long term.

However, he himself does not want to talk about an extension at this point in time as he does not want to lose focus of the main task at hand, winning trophies with Barcelona this season. Thus, the two sides will start negotiations in the summer, and the German will start the next pre-season with his contract already renewed.

Flick has never made things difficult for the Catalan club, and Barcelona understand that Flick made a significant economic sacrifice to join them. Thus, his salary will also be improved, even though the German tactician himself has not made any such demand.
