Official: 19-year-old Barcelona gem signs new contract until 2028 | OneFootball

After securing the renewals of Aron Yaakobishvili and Jofre Torrents earlier this month, FC Barcelona have now tied down yet another La Masia jewel to a new contract.

Indeed, the Blaugrana have officially confirmed that midfield prodigy Brian Farinas has signed a new contract with the club until 2028.

“FC Barcelona has reached an agreement with Brian Farinas for a contract extension, which will keep him at the Club for the next three seasons, until June 30, 2028,” the statement from the club read.

“This means that the 19-year-old midfielder from Benicarló will remain with the club after his youth career ends.”

Farinas signed for Barcelona’s fabled La Masia youth setup in 2018, arriving from Villarreal. The midfield prodigy has enjoyed a steady rise through the ranks at the Catalan club and went on to make his debut for Barça Atletic last year even while being a part of the youth setup.

The 19-year-old versatile midfielder continued to be a key member of the Juvenil A team this term while also featuring seven times for Barça Atletic in the RFEF Primera Division.

Farinas’ previous contract stood to expire at the end of the current season, leading to interest from several clubs.

However, Barcelona have secured the youngster’s future for three more years, with the player set to be a full-fledged member of the reserve team next season.
