Barcelona set to announce contract renewals of five young talents soon
Barcelona is taking decisive steps to secure the long-term futures of five talented players: Pedri, Gavi, Pau Cubarsi, Marc Casado, and Alejandro Balde.
Recent reports from Miguel Rico (via FCB World) indicate that the club is actively negotiating contract extensions for these players and plans to make announcements soon.
Pedri and Gavi, both vital to the team, currently have contracts that run until 2026, but Barcelona wants to extend these deals well in advance.
Discussions with Pedri’s representatives have been particularly encouraging, with the club emphasizing his crucial role—not only as a young star but also as a potential future leader.
Management views Pedri as a valuable long-term asset, and there appear to be no major hurdles to finalizing his renewal.
Gavi, another essential midfielder, is also in advanced negotiations, with Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, aiming to extend his contract until 2030.
As for the others, the club is keen to ensure their continued development and commitment to Barcelona’s future.
In Balde’s situation, although his current contract lasts until 2028, the club is already looking into extending it. Even as Barcelona explores options for an experienced left-back, they recognize Balde’s importance in manager Hansi Flick’s squad.
Pau Cubarsi is under contract until 2027, but Barcelona wants to eliminate any uncertainties and solidify his position at the club. They see significant potential in him and aim to support his development in a stable setting.
Lastly, Marc Casado’s remarkable progress has caught the attention of major clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga, including Bayern Munich.
Despite Casado having recently signed an extension earlier this year, Barcelona understands the necessity of securing him for the long term to deter potential interest from other clubs.
These contract renewals highlight Barcelona’s commitment to nurturing young talent and establishing a solid foundation for the future.By locking in these players, the club is clearly signaling its vision for the years ahead, centered around young, skilled individuals prepared to assume significant roles.
