Barcelona will continue their efforts to bind the core of their young side for the coming years, whereby the next player puts the pen on paper to become defender Pau Cubarsi. The 18-year-old defender has been on the senior side for just over a year, but has quickly made a start spot his own.
The teen defender debuted his debut under Xavi Hernandez last January as a 17-year-old, and in the following months he quickly received a contract extension until 2027. Given his deal at that time in 2026, the Blaugrana was no doubt to give himself extra time to give himself extra time to To negotiate a longer contract with Cubarsi, where Manchester City already made an offer for him last summer, while he was still a player under 19.
According to Jose Alvarez from El Chiringuito, Barcelona will sign a new three -year contract with Cubarsi on Thursday, which will expand its deal until 2030. The 18-year-old defender will be bound to the club until he is 23 under the new deal. The Cubarsi deal will follow through innovations for Gerard Martin, Pedri, Gavi and Ronald Araujo.
Cubarsi seems to be a place in the start XI for many more years if he can keep his level and remain in innjuries. Under both Xavi and Hansi Flick he has been a de facto starter for Barcelona, who hardly blinks in the largest stages. He is also in and out of the Spain team, after he won an Olympic gold medal with La Roja last summer.
Undoubtedly the subject of the most intrigues that will accompany him in the center of the defense of Barcelona in the coming years. Cubarsi has formed a strong partnership with Inigo Martinez, who will continue next season, but it is unlikely that the long term will continue as a starter.
