prodigy Marc Bernal’s contract until 2029 a strong statement of faith from the club despite growing interest from top Serie A and La Liga sides.
A proud graduate of La Masia, Bernal’s meteoric rise was temporarily halted by an ACL injury that has sidelined him for the entire 2024/25 campaign. Yet, in the eyes of head coach Hansi Flick, he remains an essential figure for Barça’s future midfield, with plans already in place for his return to first-team action next season.
The agreement which keeps his staggering €500 million release clause intact comes after productive talks with his agent and brother. For Barcelona, it’s not just a renewal; it’s a declaration that they see Bernal as a cornerstone for years to come, even amid fierce competition for midfield spots.
The message is clear: ACL injury or not, Marc Bernal is here to stay and the club believes the best is yet to come.
