Barcelona, ​​the club’s madness on the transfer market: 500 million!

Now it’s also official, Barcelona has made a decision, an incredible figure for the young player

Barcelona’s season, even if not yet officially, can be considered over. There is certainly regret for not being able to defend the title of Spanish Champions until the end and for being eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals against PSG. Although the results were not as satisfying as possible, the team’s final crescendo pushed Xavi to want stay on the bench next season too.

The coach, in fact, last January 27, after the home defeat against Villareal, announced that he wanted to leave Barcelona at the end of the season. Only a few months later, the coach went back on his initial decision, confirming his presence for next year too.

For next year, Xavi will certainly want to have a more competitive squad to play his cards both in La Liga, where enemy Real Madrid will probably have a new ally, Kylian Mbappeboth in the Champions League, where the new format will debut.

Barcelona, ​​Cubarsì armored: 500 million clause

Among the surprises of this season, at Blaugrana, there is certainly the defender born in 2007, Pau Cubarsi. The baby talent from the cantera has, in fact, become a pillar of the defensive department for Xavi, who sees in him his former teammate, Gerard Piqué. This season, Cubarsi played 20 games with the first teammaking his debut on 19 January, in the 3-1 victory in the Copa del Rey against Unionistas.

Furthermore, on the occasion of the match won against Napoli last March 12, he became the youngest player ever to make his Champions League debut directly in a direct elimination phase. In this match he also received the best player award.

The Catalan club has, therefore, decided to build the defense of the future on him, renewing his contract until 2027 and also dramatically increasing the figure of his termination clause. In fact, to obtain the performances of the 2007 class, the future club will no longer have to pay just 10 million, as in the previous agreement, but 500. This decision is nothing new at Barcelona, ​​given that it has also been adopted for other footballers to avoid other “Neymar cases”.

But not only Xavi noticed his qualities. Also Luis de la Fuentecoach of Spain, decided to focus on Cubarsi, so much so that he made his debut with the senior national team on 22 March, during the friendly match lost 1-0 against Colombia, making him the second youngest player in the history of the Iberian selection after his teammate, Lamine Yamal.
