There was a small area of turbulence at the start of the season, but FC Barcelona has regained its cruising speed and is at the top of La Liga. And above all, Hansi Flick is still unanimous in Catalonia. Certainly, he has sometimes been a little criticized, in particular because of his defensive line sometimes considered a little suicidal, but overall, it has been a long time since a coach was so loved in Barcelona…
The management is fully aware of this, and knows that currently, there is no better coach for this team than the former German coach. As indicated SportBarça already wants to extend it and has already made a first approach, while the German tactician’s current contract expires in 2027. There is no urgency of course, but the leaders want to act quickly, so that he does not enter his last year of contract without having sorted out his future.
Flick wants guarantees
And the idea of staying in Catalonia pleases the main person concerned, very comfortable and happy with his situation near the Camp Nou. On the other hand, he still set two conditions for Barcelona decision-makers. First, the German does not want to sign a long contract. This is also why Barça only offered him an additional year. The former Bayern player does not wish to sign a long extension and will decide his future season after season.
Second condition, and not the least: sporting guarantees. Since his arrival in Catalonia, he has had to make do with fairly meager transfer windows, and he hopes that next summer, the squad will be considerably strengthened. There are two issues on which he will be uncompromising: central defense, where he expects strong reinforcement, and the point of the attack, where everything indicates that Robert Lewandowski will have to be replaced. Deco and Joan Laporta have been warned…
