FC Barcelona keeps working to secure its top prospects. After a summer full of moves and rumors in the first team, the board has now focused its attention on the youth academy. The club's offices want to make sure that La Masia's gems continue at the club and don't fall into the clutches of other major European teams.
According to "Mundo Deportivo", Barça has reached an agreement with one of its most promising footballers. The only thing left is to make it official, but the club already has everything finalized to confirm a contract renewal that is considered strategic in Laporta and Deco's sporting project.
Strategic move
The main figure in this operation is Landry Farré, a youth player who, at 18, has become an undisputed starter for the reserve team. He had just one year left on his contract, but now he has decided to renew until 2028, a move that guarantees his future in the blaugrana jersey.
For now, he will keep his contract linked to the reserve team. However, he already trains regularly with the first team thanks to Hansi Flick's trust, as Flick has seen qualities in him that could be very useful in the medium term.
Versatility and projection
Landry Farré is a defender who stands out for his versatility. His natural position is left back, but he can also play as a center back or even as a right back, which makes him a very valuable asset for any coach.
Barça's coaching staff especially values that ability to adapt to different positions. This is something that fits perfectly with the culer philosophy, where versatile players usually have more opportunities to succeed.
Landry Farré has Hansi Flick's trust
In recent months, Hansi Flick has already included him in several first-team training sessions. Although he hasn't yet made his official debut, the German believes it's only a matter of time before he makes the jump. His maturity and performance with the reserve team are cause for optimism, and the club doesn't want to take risks with his future.
That's why the renewal until 2028 comes at the best possible time. It ensures stability for the player and allows Barça to protect itself against any attempt by other teams to sign him at a low cost.
La Masia has always been the foundation of the sporting project, and Landry Farré's case is yet another example of that commitment. With a long contract, the coach's trust, and a leading role in the youth academy, his growth is assured.
Now, all that's left is for Barça itself to make it official in the coming days to confirm what is already a reality. Landry Farré has secured his future as a culer.
