Barça seeks to link the future of Cubans

Pau Kubarsi became another important player for La Masia. The central defender will be one of the main bets of the next project, and the sports sector will adapt his contract. This is one of the pending folders that Deko must resolve before starting the next course. Kubarsi has a contract until 2026 with a clause of 10 million euros, but he has no intention of leaving. Because he is underage, Barça have a certain peace of mind, but the foundations will already be laid for his long-term continuity, given that the central defender is very comfortable at Barça.

Barça wants to offer an improvement, taking into account that Kubarsi is set to be fully part of the first team next year, although he does not have a number depending on the final composition of the team. The idea is to increase his salary, which is already planned, and negotiate a new contract that would start when he turns 18, with a multimillion-dollar exit clause and a very long-term contract.

Kubarsi is attracting a lot of attention, although he has already been tracked by several Premier League teams since last season. In fact, Chelsea wooed him even before he extended his contract with Barca, and now it seems Manchester United could make a move.

At Barca the player is absolutely calm, but they also want to agree with the central defender and his entourage on a well-planned plan for the future. Kubarsi is aware of the trust that the Blaugrana club have placed in him and his desire to become an important player in the first team. Xavi is betting on him, but the sports sphere has made it clear to him that any coach who comes will have to count with full confidence on his participation.

There could be a lot of movement in the central position next year and Barca know that there they can make a profit by selling a piece or two if necessary. The idea is also to give consolation to Chadi Riad, a footballer who has become very important at Betis and who, with his left-footed profile, could be of great help to the next project.
