Sources: Barcelona Eager to Secure New Deal with 17-Year-Old Cubarsí

Barcelona’s 17-year-old defender Pau Cubarsí is quickly making a name for himself in the football world, with his performances on the pitch catching the eye of several Premier League clubs. Despite his young age, Cubarsí has shown maturity and skill beyond his years, with Barcelona’s coach Xavi Hernández praising his aggressive play and ball-handling abilities. The teenager’s performances have led Barcelona to urgently renew his contract, as his relatively affordable release clause of €10 million has attracted interest from top English clubs. Cubarsí’s rapid rise from Barcelona’s La Masia academy to the first team has showcased his potential to become a future star, as he continues to impress alongside other young talents under Xavi’s guidance.
The 17-year-old defender Pau Cubarsí of Barcelona is now the target of several Premier League clubs, with his release clause set at around €10 million ($10.7m), sources have informed ESPN. The young player signed his first professional contract with Barça last year, but his performance in the first team has expedited the need to secure him with a new deal. Discussions for his improvement were already underway, but sources report that his recent displays have “altered the starting point” in reaching an understanding over a new long-term agreement.

According to sources close to the coaching staff, Cubarsí has demonstrated maturity and courage since his debut as a 16-year-old in the Copa del Rey. He has made six appearances under coach Xavi Hernández, including starts in LaLiga wins against Real Betis, Osasuna, and Alavés.

The teenager’s qualities have precipitated an urgency to renew his contract, as some of the biggest clubs in England are showing interest due to his relatively affordable €10m release clause. Cubarsí joined Barça in 2018 and has progressed through their La Masia academy, making his Barça Atlétic debut earlier this season.

Xavi, Barça’s coach, expressed his admiration for Cubarsí’s preparedness and potential to mark an era in the team. The young player is part of a cohort of talented youngsters breaking through under Xavi’s leadership.
