Barcelona is going through a challenging period and facing significant financial difficulties. However, the Catalan club continues to work on extending the contracts of several key players.
Details: The club's sporting director, Deco, is preparing a plan to extend the contracts of forwards Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, as well as defender Jules Koundé, according to Mundo Deportivo.
According to the source, Barcelona plans to extend Yamal’s contract until 2030, when he will turn 18. The current contract of the Barcelona academy product runs until the summer of 2026.
The club also intends to extend Raphinha's contract by two to three years. His current deal expires at the end of the 2026/2027 season.
Additional note: Despite the intention to extend Koundé’s contract, the club does not consider this a priority. A different situation is seen with midfielder Frenkie de Jong, whose contract runs until the summer of 2026. The team wants to retain the player, but he will need to prove his worth in the remainder of the season.
