Teenage defender Pau Cubarsi signs new contract with FC Barcelona

MADRID, May 9 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona on Thursday assured the future of teenage central defender Pau Cubarsi after the club and the player signed a new contract.

The 17-year-old has signed a new contract until the end of June 2027 with a release clause of 500 million euros (538 million U.S. dollars), which is only half of those of his teammates Lamine Yamal, Gavi and Pedri, but still way beyond the reach of nearly every club in the world.
