Barcelona are keen to tie down one of their brightest young prospects by offering a contract extension as soon as he turns 18 this July. The club plans to include LaLiga’s maximum allowed release clause of €1 billion in the new deal — a clear signal of their intent to protect and invest in the future of the player.
This move is part of Barça’s ongoing strategy to safeguard elite academy talents from external interest, especially with European giants constantly monitoring La Masia graduates. The club believes this young star has the potential to become a cornerstone of their long-term project, and the massive clause is designed to deter any attempts to lure him away.
The formal agreement is expected to be signed shortly after the player celebrates his 18th birthday, making him one of the most protected young players in world football.
