Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal is set to renew his contract with the club, and this renewal will include a remarkable release clause of €500 million.
According to recent reports from Jijantes, Bernal’s new contract is expected to be finalised by the end of this week and will run until 2026. Once he reaches the age of 18 on May 26, 2025, the contract will automatically extend for an additional three years.
It must be noted that the club has been diligently working on this renewal for some time now. In fact, Barcelona have engaged in discussions with Bernal to improve the terms of his current contract.
Given his potential and importance to the team, the club aims to reward his contributions. An official announcement regarding this renewal could be made very soon, indicating that both parties are eager to move forward.

This initial extension was in compliance with UEFA regulations concerning minor players.
However, Barcelona felt it was important to make an additional gesture of appreciation to highlight their confidence in Bernal’s abilities and future with the team.
On the field, Bernal is currently facing a challenging period due to an unfortunate injury. He suffered an ACL tear earlier this season, which has sidelined him from playing.
This setback is disappointing for both the player and the club, especially given the promising future he has ahead of him. Despite this injury, Barcelona remain committed to Bernal’s development and sees him as a vital part of their squad for years to come.
The club’s faith in him is underscored by the substantial release clause in his upcoming contract, reflecting their belief in his immense potential.
