Barcelona protects its children. Following in the footsteps of Gavi, Pedri, Lamine Jamal, and Alejandro Balde, young Pau Cubarsi has also extended his contract with the team until the summer of 2027. Unlike the aforementioned four players, whose release clauses in the contract amount to a staggering 1,000,000,000, in Cubarsi’s case, it will be “only” 500,000,000 european banknotes. Although it is quite clear that this is just a way for the club to protect itself, and that no one will actually pay such a large sum of money for a 17-year-old defender, regardless of his exceptional talent.President @JoanLaportaFCB 🤝 Pau Cubarsí pic.twitter.com/puvODCSrqQ— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) May 9, 2024 A product of Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, the young defender has already secured a place in the starting eleven this season and has justified the trust of coach Xavi Hernandez.
