Pedri and Gavi: Barcelona’s Priority Renewals for the Future
FC Barcelona is looking to secure the future of two of their biggest talents: Pedri González and Gavi. After resolving the financial fair play problems that almost forced Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to leave, the club is now focusing all its efforts on renewing these two pillars of the team. Both players have proven to be indispensable, and the board considers them fundamental to the success of the Barça project in the long term. The objective is to close these renewals during January, even before analyzing possible signings in the winter market.
Pedri is really close to signing a five-year contract extension, which would keep him at the club until 2030. Negotiations with his agent, Hector Peris, advanced significantly during the team's recent trip to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup. There, Deco, Barca's sporting director, closed the key points of the agreement. Only minor details and the final exchange of documents remain for the contract to become official. With his talent and leadership, Pedri has become an indispensable figure in the team, and the club does not want to leave room for doubts about his future.
For his part, Gavi is following a similar path. Although his current contract expires in 2026, Barça is looking to offer him a deal on par with Pedri's to highlight his importance within the team. Negotiations began while Gavi was recovering from an injury that he suffered last year, which reflects the absolute confidence that the board has in him too. His agent, Iván de la Peña, has maintained an excellent relationship with the club, and everything points to the deal being closed soon. Gavi, always committed to success at Barcelona, shows in every game that he is destined to be one of the team's great players and also be a future captain.
In addition to these two renewals, Barça is also working on the situation of Lamine Yamal, the promising 17-year-old. Due to legal restrictions for minors, his current contract only runs until 2026, but there is a verbal agreement to extend it until 2030 once he turns 18. Now, the club is looking to update his contract to reflect the impact he has already had on the team. With these renewals, FC Barcelona is making its intentions really clear: it is committed to youth, talent, and a project designed for long-term success.
