Barcelona was expected to struggle this season after a Down year under Xavi Hernandez, where only Dani Olmo and Pau Victor arrived in the summer to tackle those problems. With three months to go in the season, Barcelona is located as contenders in all three major competitions, after he has already won the Spanish Supercup.
According to Sport, Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, has seen enough to be convinced of his work: he wants to lock up a renewal with the German coach this summer. His current deal runs until 2026 and recently sports director Deco noted that they were calm about the situation and were happy with Flick, but that the case would be tackled when the time was ripe.
“Here we go too fast with everything, right? Here we assume euphoria to despair within a few minutes. Of course, if it goes well, it has already happened to other coaches, they have been renewed. It is the natural and normal order of a project that works, in which things are on the right track, “he told the same exhaust valve.
The club believes that he is the right man to continue to lead their project ahead and has already opened conversations with his camp about a new deal. However, there will be a warning for a new deal – the presidential election in 2026. Laporta does not like to prohibit his manager on a potential new president, although he is planning to go to the office. In theory, Flick's new contract would run until 2028, an extension of two years, but the deal would have a downtown clause for every new president if they want to use it.
Laporta wants to announce the renewal this summer, although one of the factors in the deal is the problems with salary limit that Barcelona could experience along the line. Barcelona has made an attempt to bind some of their players to new deals, with Inigo Martinez and Lamine Yamal predicted.
