Barcelona insider confirms Hansi Flick’s renewal on track, announcement likely after season ends | OneFootball

Hansi Flick’s journey at Barcelona looks set to continue beyond his current contract, with sources from within the club confirming to SPORT that talks for an extension are going very well.

While his current deal runs until 2026, discussions have been ongoing for a one-year renewal, which would keep him at the club until 2027.

Although nothing is officially signed yet, both parties are said to be on the same page. According to sources at Barcelona, the deal is “not closed yet, but negotiations are going more than well.

“Nothing is closed yet, but there has always been a lot of goodwill on both sides,” added the source.

This sentiment matches earlier reports, which also claimed that an agreement was close. People involved in the talks describe the atmosphere as positive, with a strong willingness on both sides to continue working together.

While the deal is practically done, a few minor details still need to be ironed out before it becomes official. These last steps are said to be the usual small adjustments that often delay announcements.

Flick and the club are both aware of the importance of timing, and with the team now fully focused on the Champions League semi-finals after winning the Copa del Rey, they have decided to wait before making anything public.

The extension, which includes a salary increase for Flick and his staff, is designed to last just one additional year.

This was reportedly the coach’s personal preference, as he has always favoured short-term deals. It allows him flexibility while still showing his commitment to the project at Barcelona.

In the coming weeks, the final agreement is expected to be reached with Flick’s agent. Once that happens, fans can look forward to seeing the German coach continue his work, aiming to bring further success to the club.
