A key Barcelona midfielder has officially signed a new deal, cementing their future with the club until June 2029.
The announcement comes as the club continues to build a squad capable of sustaining its recent success under coach Hansi Flick, with the new deal signaling confidence in the player’s potential to shape the team’s midfield for years to come.
The signing ceremony took place on Monday morning at the club’s offices, attended by president Joan Laporta, first vice president Rafael Yuste, and director of football Deco.
The club confirmed that Marc Bernal, the highly regarded midfield prodigy, has signed a contract extension binding him to Barcelona until June 2029, as per the official FC Barcelona X page.
Marc Bernal, a product of the famed La Masia academy, has been hailed as one of the most promising talents to emerge in recent years, with his technical ability and maturity drawing widespread praise.
Bernal’s journey to this moment has not been without challenges.
After earning a first-team breakthrough last season following an impressive pre-season under Flick, the young midfielder suffered a significant setback with an ACL injury just three games into the campaign.
The injury sidelined him for over a year, but Barcelona’s faith in his potential remained unwavering.
The club swiftly moved to secure his future, agreeing to extend his contract once he turned 18, a commitment finalized with Monday’s signing.
Making his return earlier this month against Valencia, Bernal featured for under ten minutes, with the club taking a cautious approach to his recovery.
As he regains full fitness, expectations are high that he will play a pivotal role in Flick’s plans.
With Barcelona’s midfield blending experience and youth, Bernal’s vision, composure, and versatility position him as a cornerstone for the future.
This extension underscores the club’s belief in his ability to drive their ambitions, both domestically and in Europe, through 2029.
