It's not easy to impress one of the best teams in the world at only 21-years-old, but he has managed it. Not that it is indisputable for Valverde, but he has earned his confidence at the start of this season.
He entered the field in the defeat against Athletic on the first day and could not do much, but released his scoring locker in the next game against Betis. In his next appearance, he gave two assists in the draw against Osasuna in El Sadar.
Hence the directors, headed by Bartomeu, have decided to renew his contract for two more campaigns. He will remain linked to the Catalan club until 2022, but there was no reference to his termination clause in the official statement that was offered.
It is expected that his salary will continue to be 100 million euros, as it was the club's first intention when they wanted to put pen to paper. In any case, he will have to keep earning his right to play.
