Barcelona to hand five-year deal to teenage prodigy with salary rising to €12m per annum

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. The deal will start at €4m per season next year, and rise to €12m per season in 2029. If it rises in equal amounts per season, he will see a raise of €2m per year every year until the end of his contract. That €12m final annual salary would put him at the upper end of Barcelona’s salary striker, and earning similar amounts to Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham now.
