Barcelona president Joan Laporta discusses contract extension with Hansi Flick

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed his intention to extend the contract of head coach Hansi Flick for an additional year. Flick, who took charge in May 2024, signed his current deal in May of the same year. According to Laporta, the club will formally discuss the extension at the end of the current season. Laporta noted that the 61-year-old German manager prefers to evaluate the situation before making a commitment, citing concerns that a large contract might lead to complacency. Under Flick's leadership, Barcelona previously won the league, the cup, and the Super Cup, and is currently leading La Liga while remaining active in the Champions League. Flick himself has not publicly commented on these negotiations. The discussions follow Laporta's recent reelection as club president.
