Munir Contract Extension

The new young star for Barcelona is Munir El-Haddadi. With an impressive pre-season showing with a total of four goals against HJK Helsinki and Club León, 18 year-old Barcelona youth soccer school “La Masia” prodigy made a fantastic La Liga debut for Barça, scoring one goal against Elche.

Being so young and good catches the interest of other important teams. Real Madrid, Chelsea, Paris Saint-germain and Manchester United are some of the sides that were looking at this player since he was a kid. 

Now with Munir on the first team, it’s important for Barcelona to try to keep the golden boy from leaving, or at least set the transfer amount to the biggest possible. And that is what they are doing.

According to information from spanish sport newspapers Mundo Deportivo, Marca and Sport, Andoni Zubizarreta, Barça sporting director, has informed Munir that the club will draw him an improved contract replacing the current one that ends on 2017. But the new contract will not just be longer, it will also be incredibly valuable. According to the news, Barça will rise the buyout clause from a mere €12 million, to about €55 million; with an even higher amount if Munir meets certain expectations, like number of appearances, number of goals, among other bonuses. Just to put it simple: if he becomes the new Barcelona superstar, it will take a colossal amount of money to make him leave the camp Nou.

With Munir’s agent currently on vacation, the negotiations will start next month, and Barcelona will do everything in his hand to guarantee that the new golden boy stays in the team.
