Flick's current deal is inside its final 18 months and talks over a new contract won't commence until after the end of this season.
The German will mark 100 games in charge today when Barca meet Villarreal and he said today: “I’m taking it one step at a time, one game at a time.
"We want to win titles, but also build for the future. I’m grateful to be working with (sportiing director) Deco, to be working with my team. It helps me a lot to have confidence too, because for me, confidence is essential.”
Flick also said, "For me, it's like a family, a real family. From the first day, they made me feel at home, with the president, the board, Deco, Bojan... I first met Deco and Bojan (Krkic, director) and I had a very good feeling about them.
"And then when I arrived, everything was incredible. Everything is a little different in Germany."
Meanwhile, Rayan Cherki has become the victim of a Phil Foden-type situation at Manchester City, but the Frenchman possesses the "class" to win Pep Guardiola over again, Stuart Pearce has exclusively told Sports Mole.

The former Lyon starlet was heavily courted by Chelsea before joining the Sky Blues last summer, and with nine goals and nine assists in 34 matches across all competitions, his first season in the Man City strip has been a success.
Cherki has managed 10 direct involvements in 22 Premier League games - three of his own and seven assists - but he has only managed one goal and no helpers in his last nine top-flight matches during a sticky run of form.
The 22-year-old's numbers have not been helped by frequent substitute appearances, as he has started just two of the Sky Blues' last seven Premier League matches and was only given a 30-minute run-out in their 2-1 victory over Newcastle United last time out.
At the same time, Foden has started just one of City's last five in the top flight after a dip in his numbers, but Pearce still believes that Cherki can bring a new dimension to Guardiola's side.
