Barcelona content with Flick but Fabregas ‘to call’ club first if he quits Como | OneFootball

Barcelona are pleased with Hansi Flick’s tenure and are not planning a change, yet they are mapping long-term options, with former midfielder Cesc Fabregas among those being monitored.

Sport reports that Fabregas enjoys broad backing inside the boardroom and is viewed as a leading candidate to succeed Flick in the future. It adds that a senior figure has urged him to contact the club before considering other offers if he leaves Como.

Flick has steadied the side and left a clear mark on the team. The board are completely satisfied, with the German having delivered two La Liga titles. His deal runs to 2028 with an option for a further season, and there is no internal search or immediate plan to replace him.

Barcelona are drawn to Fabregas not only by results but by how he manages, prepares and develops players, aligning with the club’s identity and style.

Since joining Como’s project around three years ago, he has helped lift the club from the second division to the Champions League. The report also cites figures suggesting the squad’s value has climbed from about 31 million euros to roughly 535 million euros in that time. Europe’s major clubs are tracking his progress.

For now Flick leads and meets the board’s aims, while Barcelona keep the Fabregas option open and watch how his coaching journey develops.
