Marc Bernal Agrees Barcelona Extension With €500M Release Clause
Barcelona have agreed a new deal with Marc Bernal until June 2031, including a €500M release clause, after Premier League clubs and Atletico showed interest.
Barcelona have moved to secure the long-term future of one of their brightest midfield prospects. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club have reached an agreement with 20-year-old Marc Bernal to extend his contract until June 2031.
A €500M release clause for Marc Bernal
The new deal is set to include a €500 million release clause, a clear sign of how highly the club rate the young midfielder. Bernal's current contract runs until 2029, so the renewal would add two more years to his stay at the La Liga giants and protect Barcelona from any approach in the coming seasons.
Premier League and Atletico Madrid interest
The timing is no coincidence. Last summer, Bernal drew attention from several Premier League clubs as well as Atletico Madrid. That interest pushed Barcelona to act early and tie down the midfielder before any serious offer could land on the table.
The renewal is expected to be made official after the international break. For now, the club have yet to issue a formal announcement, but the agreement is reported to be in place.
