Barcelona is planning to reinforce its groundwork this week with two essential contract renewals, showing solidarity and future assurance.
Mundo Deportivo has been tipped off that the club will renew their head coach and attacking play star, and this demonstrates faith in the ongoing project.
It is a remarkable show of faith that Barcelona wants continuity in their project, despite financial constraints, and to establish a good basis for their future success.
The first renewal is for the head coach, Hansi Flick, whose renewal is expected to be confirmed today.
Flick was appointed in the summer of 2024, and his new deal would mean the head coach would be contracted until 2027, a one-year extension to his original rookie contract.
This decision shows the board has faith in his project vision so far, which has demonstrated early promise.
The second and perhaps the most exciting for fans is for Raphinha, the 28-year-old Brazilian forward.
Raphinha is set to sign this record-breaking week contract on Thursday.
Raphinha’s deal is set to lengthen an incredible season during which he scored 34 goals and 22 assists, and continues to be one of the best attackers in Europe.
With Flick officially renewed, manager stability is established, meaning there will be time for his ideas to grow.
Raphinha’s extension, even with the current contract to 2027, highlights his importance in Barcelona’s attacking unit as well.
Laporta has shown commitment to Raphinha’s role in the club’s plans for the future, claiming renewal of his future is important.
Raphinha himself has reflected eagerness for the renewal, and associates his aspirations with Barcelona’s journey.
Flick and Raphinha renewals continue the steady advance for Barcelona, managing their finances, while unable to refresh assets.
To have both Flick and Raphinha under contract shows Barcelona is committed to creating a competitive team under stability, which enables more successful, collective ambitions to happen in the future.
