Reports suggest that star midfielders Pedri and Gavi of Barcelona have been set to sign new long-term deals with the club this week. According to Sport, the contracts with the two Spanish players will probably be agreed upon after Barca face Atalanta in a Champions League encounter. Securing the futures of these two young prospects has constituted a priority for sporting director Deco, who has already expended food collections of effort over recent months to keep both players under the club’s tight reign. Further bringing to bear the club’s home-grown players, it is marking huge investments in securing the spine of its future amid the ongoing financial woes.
Barca Secures Long-Term Future Of Gavi And Pedri
Barca has been intending to offer a new contract to Gavi for quite a while, waiting for the midfielder to fully recover from a serious knee injury that kept him out for approximately a year. Now, both Pedri and Gavi are about to renew their contracts with the club until June 2030, showing great faith in their futures. Gavi’s new contract will entail a release clause of €1 billion (£866 million/$1 billion). This further reflects the commitment of Barcelona to house their great prospects, even in the face of financial turbulence.

Barca’s Continued Commitment To Key Players
Last week saw Barca pull off quite a coup to enhance their squad by renewing Ronald Araujo’s contract extension. Top clubs like Juventus were reportedly interested in him. This newly revamped deal extends his stay at the Catalan club until 2031, thereby bolstering the club’s defense for the long term. It’s all part of a plan at Barcelona to keep their most valued assets and hopefully construct a competitive team to challenge for domestic and European honors. After the Champions League match against Atalanta on Wednesday, Barcelona will look towards La Liga. On Sunday, they host Alaves in an effort to keep their good runs going while solidifying their position in the Spanish top flight.
