Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi has quickly made his way from surprise debutant in the first team in January to regular starter at the club, in the space of the last three months. The Blaugrana are set to hand him a new bumper contract to secure his future.
The 17-year-old has a €10m release clause, and was close to leaving for Manchester City, but in recent months there has been no suggestion he wants to leave the club. Nevertheless, they will hand him a new five-year deal from January next season, as per Diario AS.
Currently he is restricted to deals that are three years in length, but once he turns 18, Barcelona put him on a long-term contract.
