Barcelona: Koeman hopes Messi stays for 'many more years'
Barcelona chief Joan Laporta has decided on Hansi Flick as his first choice to replace Ronald Koeman if the Dutchman were to get sacked, according to reports. Koeman is under pressure with Barca having won just one of their last five La Liga matches. A draw with Levante and then defeat at home to Celta Vigo ended hopes of title success for the Nou Camp club.

Spanish radio station RAC1 says Barca president Laporta has spoken to Bayern Munich boss Flick with regard to becoming the club's next manager.
The report says Laporta found Flick 'receptive' and likes the 'methodology and the intensity' he would bring to the Barca squad.
Flick has an agreement to become the next Germany manager after Joachim Low leaves his role as national team boss after this summer's European Championships.
However, RAC1 claims Flick has not signed anything yet to commit himself to that job.
