Barcelona will not change homegrown star’s release clause despite contract renewal – report

Barcelona are set to renew the contract of homegrown midfielder Marc Bernal, with the agreement expected to remain in place until 2031. Mundo Deportivo has reported that the club has decided not to adjust Bernal's €500 million release clause, despite the midfielder's growing importance to the team. Sporting director Deco confirmed the imminent agreement at a recent board meeting, with the final documentation now the only remaining step before the contract is finalized.

The decision to maintain the release clause reflects Barcelona's confidence in the midfielder and their long-term strategy of nurturing players through La Masia.
