Barcelona re-selected Joan Laporta last week and are expected to hand Hansi Flick a new contract at the Camp Nou, with Marcus Rashford aiming for a permanent move to Spain.<\/h2>\n

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is set to sign a new contract just days after the club’s presidential election, which could have implications for Marcus Rashford and his future at the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n
Joan Laporta will continue as club president following Sunday’s victory. One of his first moves was to confirm that the Barcelona manager will remain in the job until 2028, with a new contract set to be signed.<\/p>\n
In his debut season, Flick oversaw La Liga and Copa del Rey wins, as well as a place in the last four of the Champions League. This year, he helped Barcelona lead the league and Rashford helped spearhead Spain’s bid to retain the title.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United loanee has been snapped up by manager Flick and his decision to stay has likely increased the chances of the Englishman joining on a permanent deal. Barcelona could sign him for \u00a326 million this summer, a relatively modest fee if they can bring the player back to the top level.<\/p>\n
Rashford himself wants to remain in Spain and there have been no calls from Manchester to bring him back to Old Trafford following Ruben Amorim’s sacking.<\/p>\n

Rashford has scored 10 goals in 38 appearances for the Spanish giants. His goals included the winning goal in the Champions League against Newcastle. The 28-year-old is part of an attacking line that also includes Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, which means he has to accept a role on the bench at times.<\/p>\n
But Flick was full of praise for his attitude, saying in December: “It’s the perfect mentality. I’m very happy to have him. When he’s on the bench, he shows that we’re a good, deep team. What I can say is that he’s a completely professional player. He had to adapt a bit at first, but now he’s at his best level.”<\/p>\n

Flick has proven to be a big hit at Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith Laporta saying: “He’s very happy here, so we’ll probably announce the deal soon.” The president has backed the former Bayern Munich manager to remain in office until his term expires in 2031.<\/p>\n
“It will show the consistency that we are winning,” Laporta said. “I think there is a possibility that he will be at Bar\u00e7a for another five years. He is young, full of energy and is happy at Bar\u00e7a.”<\/p>\n
