German coach Hansi Flick is on the verge of an early contract extension with Barcelona.
The Catalans plan to announce the continuation of their partnership until 2028 soon, Barça president Joan Laporta told radio station RAC1 on Tuesday.
βWe all intend to extend the contract. Hansi is in favour of it as well,β he said.
The 61-year-old former Germany and Bayern Munich coach is under contract with the Spanish champions until June 30, 2027.
βI would be very happy if he stayed for the next five years. For now, we will extend his contract by another year because we always want him to work with another year on his contract,β added Laporta, who was re-elected president on Sunday.
The 63-year-old will remain president of the Spanish club until 2031.
Flick has been Barcelona coach since 2024 and led them to a league and cup double in his first season. They again top the table in Spain by four points with 10 matches left.
Barcelona doubles tourist tax to tackle housing crisis, increasing fees for hotels and rentals. The move aims to balance tourism growth and local needs.

Luka Vuskovic is a man in demand
Apart from his defensive qualities, he has been exceptional going forward, contributing 6 goals. Barcelona are hoping to secure his signature in the summer, and have already held positive talks with his representatives.
The 19-year-old could be tempted to join an elite club like Barcelona, and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Tottenham. The London club will not want to lose an elite young talent like Vuskovic anytime soon. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, especially with players like Cristian Romero linked with an exit.
Vuskovic could develop into a key player for Tottenham in future, and they must do everything in their power to keep him at the club. They cannot afford to lose elite prospects like him if they want to build a formidable team for the future.
Meanwhile, it has been a very disappointing season for Tottenham, and they are fighting for survival in the Premier League. If they go down at the end of the season, they are likely to lose multiple players. The 18-year-old could seriously consider exiting as well. He will not want to compete in the second division of English football.
