The good news keeps coming for Barcelona, as after winning La Liga on Thursday, they are now set to finalise a key piece of business: Hansi Flick’s new contract.
It has been reported in recent weeks that Barcelona have been desperate to agree a new deal with Flick. The German signed a two-year contract upon his arrival last summer, which means that he is currently tied down until 2026. But soon, the agreement between club and head coach will be extended.
New contract sees Hansi Flick extend Barcelona stay
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have wrapped up contract negotiations with Flick. The 60-year-old has agreed to extend his stay in Catalonia by an additional year, until the summer of 2027.
Barcelona have had a lot of success with contract renewals in recent months. Pedri, Pau Cubarsi and Gavi are among those to have signed new deals since the start of 2025, and Flick is now the latest. But they are not done there, as more negotiations are planned for the coming weeks with the likes of Jules Kounde and Raphinha.
Barcelona likely to be Flick’s final job in management
There could be some Barcelona supporters that are disappointed about Flick only signing a one-year extension, although that still leaves him with two seasons to come as manager. There is no guarantee that the same success achieved in 2024-25 will be maintained going forward, and due to their well-documented financial woes, the Catalans cannot afford to hand out a long-term deal in case they need to agree a compensation package.
It is also worth noting that Flick is reportedly not planning to continue in football for much longer. It has been claimed in recent months that he is thinking about retirement, and that could happen at the end of the 2026-27 season – provided that he is still at Barcelona at that time.
