Barcelona have reportedly sent representatives to speak with Como manager Cesc Fabregas as they plan for Hansi Flick's eventual departure.

Flick, 61, has been a revelation since joining the Catalan club, winning LaLiga in spectacular fashion on both his seasons at the helm.

The German recently signed a new contract, keeping him at the Camp Nou until 2028 with an option to extend for a further 12 months.

According to AS (via IlNapolista), Barcelona won’t be resting on their laurels and have set their sights on former player Fabregas as the German’s eventual successor.

The 39-year-old has established himself as one of Europe’s hottest young coaches at Como, guiding them to their first ever Champions League qualification.

It’s understood that Barcelona sent Alejandro Echevarría, right-hand man to President Joan Laporta, to Como to hold talks with Fabregas.
