Gavi to renew his contract with Barcelona until 2026

The Barcelona board is one step away from closing another important negotiation. According to 'Sport', the board have reached an agreement with Gavi's agent to renew the midfielder's contract.

If there are no problems, the 18-year-old would sign until the 2026 season and would have a one billion euro buy-out clause, like other players in the current squad.

The announcement of the renewal could be published as early as Thursday, on the return from the trip to Munich, where Xavi Hernandez's team will play Bayern in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

In recent months, Gavi has become an essential part of Barça's midfield, to such an extent that he has taken the starting place away from a key player like Frenkie de Jong, for example.

The Catalan side are expected to hold an event at the Camp Nou stadium to announce the midfielder's renewal, which will be attended by the president of the club, Joan Laporta. There could be more news in the coming hours.
