He'll stay at the club until 2031! Barcelona agree a deal with young talent
Barcelona are close to extending Brian Farinyas's contract. The Catalan club's management have already reached a preliminary agreement with the player and his agent, and plan to finalize negotiations after the international break.
According to Marca, Barcelona began working on a new deal back in late August, when they decided to bring the player into the first team. Talks gathered pace after Farinyas made his debut under Hansi Flick and impressed in the opening fixtures.
The Catalans want not only to improve the player's financial terms but also to fend off interest from other clubs. His current release clause is just 15 million euros, so the club's management are keen to revise the contract as soon as possible.
The player's current deal runs until 2028. The new contract is expected to run until 2031, although the two parties still need to agree on a few details.
Extending Farinyas's deal is part of Barcelona's strategy to keep hold of their promising players. The club have already extended the contracts of Raphinha and Xavi Espart until 2030. The Catalans are also close to finalizing negotiations over a new deal with Marc Bernal.
