Barcelona finalising last details of Cubarsi new deal

With starts against PSG in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga, Pau Cubarsi has finally secured his place in Barcelona's first-team starting line-up. His contract runs until 2026 and the board is already working towards extending it until 2030. 'Mundo Deportivo', in fact, claims that negotiations are close to reaching an agreement that is only pending the length of the contract and the termination clause.

The defender's plan is to sign for five years, while the Barca bosses prefer a six-year contract. In addition, Joan Laporta and his top brass are considering a €1 billion clause, which would put him on the same level as other talents such as Lamine Yamal or Gavi. On the other hand, the youngster prefers to be like Fermin Lopez, whose starting price without having to talk to the 'Cules' board is 400 million.

The source mentioned in the first paragraph stresses that this does not mean that the talks between the two sides are stalled. It will not be long before there is an agreement. The fact is that there is plenty of time to act because nothing can be official until he comes of age. He is currently 17 years old and it will not be until 22nd January 2025 that the club will be able to agree the terms of his employment relationship.

Currently, neither his salary nor his clause of less than 10 million is linked to his recurring presence in Xavi Hernandez's starting line-ups. Moreover, with the confirmation that the coach will remain at Barcelona for another season, Cubarsi will maintain his status and reinforce the reasons that have brought his contract to the club's table of priorities. He is delighted and will not take long to seal his signature.
