Barcelona plans to renew Hansi Flick in May after reaching an agreement in principle.

FC Barcelona has more good news after winning the Copa del Rey this weekend by defeating Real Madrid in the final.

Hansi Flick, the man responsible for the Catalans' success so far this season, has reached an agreement in principle with the club on a new deal.

This rumor comes from Sky Sports journalist Patrick Berger, who claims that the Blaugrana intend to announce the manager's renewal next month.

Flick joined Barcelona last summer and signed a two-year contract till 2026. However, given how well the squad has performed this season under his leadership, the Catalan giants have been seeking to extend his contract for some time.

And it looks that the two parties have struck an agreement in principle, with only a few details remaining to be negotiated.

Flick is poised to sign a one-year extension till 2027, with the 60-year-old preferring to sign a long-term contract in one go.

The official announcement is coming next month from the club.

Since taking over the reins, Flick has led Barcelona to the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey victories.

They are also at the top of the La Liga table, four points ahead of Real Madrid, and have advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

Flick and his team have received praise from all sides for how they have worked their magic at Barcelona this season. And the former Bayern Munich and Germany coach deserves a renewal.

Grealish says he enjoys playing with Haaland.

Jack Grealish praised Erling Haaland after the striker scored twice to secure a 2-1 Premier League comeback victory over Brentford. The visitors scored after only 22 seconds at the Etihad Stadium, with Yoane Wissa heading in following a sloppy clearing inside the City box. However, Haaland turned the game on its head before the break, leveling with a deflected shot in the 19th minute before latching onto Ederson's long pass and beautifully dinking us into the lead shortly after half-time. The forward currently has 99 goals for the club in all competitions, and his league tally this season is nine goals in four appearances. "The second [goal] showed what he is all about," Grealish remarked after the win. "He used his body effectively, and it's a fantastic finish. "It is a pleasure to play with him and hopefully he can continue." Grealish, who started the game after good performances for England during the international break, was lively and active, but h...

Mohamed Salah gives shocking update on Liverpool's future ahead of Man United match: 'This is my final year'.

Salah is now free to negotiate a pre-contract deal to join a foreign team this summer. Mohamed Salah has claimed that this will be his "last year" at Liverpool, adding to his incentive to win a second Premier League title. The Egyptian is out of contract at the end of the season and has regularly expressed his disappointment that no movement has been made toward a new contract. Despite the ongoing drama, Salah has been in phenomenal form, with 17 Premier League goals and 13 assists to his name, helping Liverpool lead the way domestically and in Europe. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Liverpool's match against Manchester United on Sunday, Salah said that for the first time this season, his desire to win the Premier League outweighs his desire for Champions League success.
