Hansi Flick will sign a two-year deal with Barcelona on Wednesday, replacing dismissed Xavi Hernandez.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared on X that Flick will be in Barcelona on Tuesday, to finalize paperwork with the Catalan side.
“Hansi Flick will be in Barcelona tomorrow and signs his contract as new Barça manager on Wednesday.
“Deal valid until June 2026, as expected,” the sports journalist wrote.
The German manager will replace Xavi, who was recently dismissed by the club.
The former Bayern Munich boss was initially in contention for the Chelsea job after the sack of Mauricio Pochettino, but the Blues have narrowed their list, with Flick absent.
He is expected to build on Xavi’s legacy, making Barcelona charge for domestic and European titles.
Flick’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Barcelona, as the club aims to restore its dominance in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. His experience and track record with Bayern Munich, where he won multiple titles, including the Bundesliga and the Champions League, are seen as vital assets in steering Barcelona back to glory.
With the new season approaching, Barcelona fans and players alike are eager to see how Flick’s strategies and leadership will influence the team’s performance. The club's management believes that his tactical acumen and ability to develop young talents will be key in achieving their long-term goals.
As the new manager, Flick will have the task of integrating new signings, fostering team cohesion, and implementing his football philosophy to ensure that Barcelona remains competitive on all fronts. His immediate focus will be on pre-season preparations and making strategic decisions that align with the club's ambitions.
Barcelona's official announcement of Flick's signing is expected to spark a wave of optimism and anticipation among supporters, who are hopeful that this change in leadership will mark the beginning of a successful era for the club.
