Marc Bernal is considered one of the most talented graduates of La Masia in this new generation of footballers. Today, Barcelona made an important decision regarding his future.
Details: Barcelona has officially announced the extension of the 17-year-old central midfielder's contract until the summer of 2029.
It's also been revealed that the new contract includes a hefty release clause—set at a staggering 500 million euros, making it highly unlikely for any club to activate it.
Reminder: Marc Bernal suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the third La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano, and it is expected that he will not play again this season.
Bernal started the season as a key midfielder and received highly positive reviews from the press and football experts. Within the club, he is viewed as the natural successor to Sergio Busquets.
