Flick extends contract to 2028, prioritizes La Masia development

FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has reached a verbal agreement to extend his contract until June 2028, with a strong focus on nurturing academy talents.

Flick aims to promote right-back Xavi Espart and midfielder Tommy Marques next season. The 18-year-old Espart has featured regularly, while 19-year-old Marques is viewed as a potential replacement for departing Marc Casado.
