OFFICIAL: Barca secure Gavi's future with €1bn release clause deal

Gavi has officially signed a new contract with Barcelona, solidifying his commitment to the club with a long-term agreement. This deal includes a €1 billion release clause, similar to that of his midfield partner, Pedri.

This move underscores Barcelona's determination to keep their young talents. The contract renewal comes on the heels of recent extensions for Ronald Araujo and Gerard Martin, highlighting the club's focus on securing its homegrown talent despite financial challenges.

Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, has prioritized these renewals to ensure stability and continuity within the squad.  Next on Deco's agenda are contract talks with Inigo Martinez and the highly promising Lamine Yamal, as the club seeks to lock down its core players for the future.

Gavi's new contract is a significant step in Barcelona's strategy to build around their talented midfield duo, alongside Pedri. The €1 billion release clause is a deterrent to potential suitors, emphasizing Barcelona's resolve to keep Gavi at the Camp Nou.
