Barcelona prioritizes the renewals of two key stars this month before new signings

Following the return to the 1:1 fair play regulation, and after ensuring the continued presence of Ronald Araújo when addressing his new contract as a Barcelona player, the club’s sporting director Deco has turned his attention to other important matters .

The issue of bringing in a new player before the January transfer window closes remains on the agenda, with Marcus Rashford a key target.

However, according to Sports WorldBarcelona are eager to approach the contract renewal of two key players, Pedri and Gavi, as a priority before thinking about entering the market.

Pedri and Gavi’s current contracts extend until 2026, and Barça has been negotiating a renewal for some time. The club considers that both midfielders are fundamental pieces for the future and wants to improve their contracts.

Barcelona’s goal is to finish these renovations before January. This is the club’s top priority, even before exploring possible transfers during the winter market.

Pedri’s situation

Pedri’s renewal is considered 95% complete. The new agreement would extend for five years, until 2030.

A final meeting is expected to iron out the remaining details and exchange documents before signing the agreement that will keep Pedri, who has returned to his best level this season, at the club for a long time.

What about Gavi?

Gavi’s renovation is also progressing well. The club’s intention is to offer him a new contract equivalent to Pedri’s, as both players are equally vital for Barcelona’s future.

While the 20-year-old’s representatives have remained tight-lipped and refrained from commenting on the negotiations, the club remains optimistic given the commitment of the player and his agent to stay.

Negotiations for Gavi’s extension began during his recovery from injury. Both Deco and the club’s sports management have unwavering confidence in the The Masia graduate and see him as a fundamental figure in the team’s long-term plans.

For this reason, Barcelona is working to close these agreements in January, even before entering the transfer market.
