Barca announced already a few days ago that the Brazilian would sign this Friday a new contract which will tie him until 2021 to the club. After months of negotiations they have finally agreed on a deal and signed it.
The contract, which had been agreed in June, includes a buy-out clause of 200 million euros as Barca seek to ward off interest from potential suitors. The release clause will increase in the following years: the first year will be €200 million, the second year €222 million and the third year €250 million.
His new salary will surround €15 million per season.
