Spanish newspaper Sport has reported that Barcelona have identified Cesc Fabregas as a potential future successor to Hansi Flick, even though the German coach remains in charge under a long-term deal.
According to the report, the club view the current Como manager as a strong long-term option and have already held initial talks, while Flick is still expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
The development reflects Barcelona’s desire to plan early for the post-Flick era, with Fabregas holding clear appeal because of his history with the club and his understanding of the team’s football identity.
