The plan has been in place since Joan Laporta\u2019s re-election as club president, according to reports from Roger Torell\u00f3, and Mundo Deportivo.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Contract Details and Timeline<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Flick\u2019s current deal runs until June 2027. The upcoming agreement will add <strong>two more years<\/strong> (until June 2029), providing greater stability for the German coach and the squad. Discussions also include a potential <strong>+1 option<\/strong>, which could take the contract through to 2029 if activated.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Flick\u2019s super-agent <strong>Pini Zahavi<\/strong> is expected to arrive in Barcelona soon to finalize all remaining details. The renewal was effectively greenlit once Laporta secured another term as president in March 2026, reflecting strong alignment between the board, the sporting department, and the coaching staff.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Background on the Negotiations<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Talks for a renewal have been ongoing for months. Earlier in 2026, verbal agreements were already in place, with the formalization pending Laporta\u2019s re-election. Pini Zahavi has been involved throughout, and his upcoming visit is expected to iron out salary details, bonuses, and the precise structure of the +1 option.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">This move also signals Barcelona\u2019s intent to maintain project stability heading into the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons, where they will aim to challenge for La Liga, the Champions League, and domestic cups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is on the verge of signing a contract extension that will keep him at the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":51033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4660],"tags":[564,4057],"class_list":["post-51029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transfer-news","tag-hansi-flick","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51029"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51029\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51034,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51029\/revisions\/51034"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
