Barcelona begin contract negotiations with young players Espart and Farinas

Barcelona are entering contract negotiations with academy products Xavi Espart and Brian Farinas following their promotions to the senior squad. The club intends to significantly increase the release clause for Espart, moving it from the current €20m to a proposed €150m. While negotiations for Farinas are also underway, the club has not yet disclosed a specific figure for his revised release clause. These discussions follow a broader initiative to adjust contract terms for younger players who have joined Hansi Flick’s first-team group for the 2026-27 campaign. Additionally, the club is expected to finalize a new agreement for Hamza Abdelkarim shortly, who is also tied to a reported €150m release clause valuation.
