According to reports he'll be offered a contract extension if he meets objectives this season.
Guess we will wait and see at end of the season how he does.
Really doesn't matter at this point, he will be gone along with this Board in 2021 at the latest, but until then we're screwed either way, you would even expect they'll do whatever they can to keep their favourite puppet until the very end. I'm guessing the only way EV does not stay for the last year of this Board is if we end up trophy less, every other way I think he's staying, even if we only manage to win just Copa.
And at this point if you think about it, what is even the point of bringing someone well known like Koeman for one year. To make him quit the Dutch national team, I expect he'll want assurances of a bigger contract, which our Board can't promise him, or maybe they'll do it anyway and let the next Board deal with paying him out early, if they want him gone after 2021, when I expect they'll want to bring in their own guy (Font=Xavi?) this way the current Board will screw the new Board even more. It's clear they don't give a shit, once they'll pack up with their money in 2021. Bartomeu is gonna of course try in one last push to keep control of the club and push one of his minions on elections anyway, but hopefully he won't be (and I don't see how he could be) successful. But either way, his work will be done (destroying pretty much everything Cruyff and Pep built in terms of people associating Barca with playing beautiful football and having La Masia heavily relied on), and he'll gladly retire with his blood money and never think about Barca again.
As for the players, I only feel bad for the likes of De Jong, Arthur, Ter Stegen and so on and I truly hope we get to keep them all until then, so that they can lead this club alongside a new coach and some new (home grown) players like Puig, Fati and Moriba, while for the old guard of Pique, Rakitic, Suarez, Busquets, Alba, Roberto, even Messi, having Valverde until the end will be sort of a carmic justice for backing him after Anfield, cause I suspect they will pretty much all be gone after the new Board comes in and starts cleaning house. The only one here after 2021 I suspect will be Messi, and maybe Alba, since he's got that fat contract all up to 2024, but even he might get sold.
