Joan Laporta has presented the Dutchman with a conditional proposal that could see him remain in the Blaugrana dugout beyond the end of the season
Barcelona are ready to hand Ronald Koeman a new contract if he meets their 2021-22 targets, Goal can confirm.
Koeman replaced Quique Setien in the Camp Nou hot seat following Barca's disastrous 2019-20 campaign, putting pen to paper on a two-year contract.
The 58-year-old guided the Blaugrana to their 31st Copa del Rey triumph last term and they've made a steady start to the 2021-22 season despite wholesale changes to the squad over the summer, with Joan Laporta set to reward him with a new deal if he continues.
The Barca president submitted a conditional extension offer to Koeman in August that guarantees the Dutchman a longer reign at Camp Nou provided he meets certain performance criteria over the next 11 months.
Laporta expects Koeman to continue handling the pressure that comes with the managerial hot seat, meaning he must remain a picture of composure in front of the press regardless of whether his position is called into question.
He will also have to deliver consistent results while sticking to the club's 'Cruyffista philosophy', with Barca's performance in their 4-2 win against Real Sociedad on the opening weekend of the new campaign considered to be a solid blueprint to follow.
Koeman has been told that subsequent displays in the 1-1 draw at Athletic Club and 2-1 win at home to Getafe fell below the required standard, and that he should aim to stick to a 4-3-3 formation going forward.
