In recent weeks, Barcelona has been very busy on the contract innovation front. Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Gavi and Pau Cubarsi have already drawn new deals since the beginning of 2025, with the latter being the last to put this on paper this Thursday.
Barcelona Sporting Director Deco has been in charge of this process, which has been going very well so far. However, he does not rest on his laurels, and there is already work underway in the second phase of the “renewal plan” of the club, as reported by MD.
These negotiations are expected to take place in the coming months, because there is less urgency of Barcelona, because the players in question do not see that their current deals end up at the earliest until 2027, while with Arajo, Pedri and Gavi, all of that were due Free agents at the end of next season.
The first player on the Deco list is Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old sensation can sign an extended contract as soon as he turns 18 in the summer (players 17 from Under can only sign deals with a maximum length of three years), and Barcelona wants to be completed as quickly as possible, so to prevent complications .
In recent weeks, Raphinha has been associated with receiving a new contract, and he is another with which Deco will soon start negotiations. He and Lamine Yamal are in the upper band of players offered new deals, and this is also the case for Jules Kounde, who has been a great performance since his move from Seville in 2022.
Another player who plans to renew Deco, albeit with not as much urgency as the aforementioned trio, is Frenkie de Jong. His contract expires in 2026, although Barcelona has been hesitant to offer a new deal because he left behind in the season since the return of a long -term ankle injury. However, he will become a member of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in the upper band if he impresses in the coming months.
