Barça is experiencing a golden moment after a season that will go down in the history of Spanish soccer. La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa have been won convincingly. The only thorn was the Champions League, which they will look to lift next season.
To achieve that goal, Hansi Flick knows he needs to surround himself with proven talent. That's why important names like Luis Díaz or Joan García are being considered. Both are highly regarded by the sporting management for their ability to make an immediate impact.
Barça keeps the future safe by renewing their top talents
Pedri was the first to extend his contract until 2030. Then, it was Gavi's turn, who also sealed his long-term commitment. These decisions ensure that the heart of the midfield will keep beating strongly.
However, there was a contract renewal that many were waiting for with special excitement. Now, Barça wants to renew Sergio Busquets's natural heir. A midfielder with authority, composure, and enviable tactical vision.
That midfielder is Marc Bernal. Barça has reached an agreement for him to renew until 2029 and become part of the first team. This is a strategic decision aimed at the long term.
Marc Bernal will make the final leap to Barça
Hansi Flick has been sure about it since he saw him train for the first time. "He has extraordinary tactical intelligence," his inner circle have said. Since then, the German coach has considered Marc Bernal a key piece for the future.
This season, he hasn't had any minutes due to a serious knee injury. However, Marc Bernal is now fully recovered and ready to shine. His physical progress has been very positive in recent weeks.
In addition, his style is very reminiscent of Sergio Busquets's. The same control of space, passing accuracy, and organizational ability. He is a piece that fits perfectly into Barça's philosophy.
Marc Bernal's renewal is a long-term bet for Barça
The agreement with Marc Bernal includes conditions befitting a special talent. His new contract reflects the coaching staff's absolute trust. He will have a first-team number, sign until 2029, and have a 500 million clause.
This signing represents more than just a renewal. It is a firm step toward the club's future. The midfield is in good hands with Pedri, Gavi, and now also Marc Bernal.
Barça has decided to protect their youth academy with actions, not words. This move proves that La Masia is still the soul of the project. Young players keep having a leading role.
Marc Bernal: Ready to lead Barça
Now it will be time to show that he is ready for the challenge. Marc Bernal will work with the best from day one. He will compete for a place among the chosen ones.
Everything suggests that he could get his first minutes after the injury during the summer tour. Hansi Flick wants to see him in action before the official season begins. His performance will be key to defining his role.
With this move, Barça is once again looking to the future with optimism. Marc Bernal is not just another promise: he is the new Sergio Busquets. He is already ready to take over.
