Another Barcelona star agrees new long-term contract

2

La Liga giants Barcelona have this week secured the future of another of the club’s most highly regarded up-and-coming young prospects. This comes amid confirmation of Brian Fariñas agreeing to the terms of a new long-term contract.

The name of starlet Fariñas has of course emerged as an altogether prominent one in Catalunya’s capital almost out of the blue over recent weeks.

Afforded a place in Hansi Flick’s first-team setup over the summer after impressing in pre-season, the 20-year-old was at last afforded the opportunity to showcase his talents on the pitch.

Amid an injury crisis in Barcelona’s defensive ranks, Fariñas, a midfielder by trade, was afforded a trio of successive starts at right-back.

And the Spaniard did not look at all out of place, slotting in with minimal fuss whilst linking up in impressive fashion with close friend and teammate Lamine Yamal.

This weekend, it should therefore come as little surprise to learn of those in a position of power at the Camp Nou moving to reward Fariñas for his efforts.

As per a report from Marca:

‘Brian Fariñas will renew his contract with Barcelona after talks between Deco and the player’s agent. The two parties have reached an agreement in principle to extend the player’s contract, which was set to expire in 2028.’

Fariñas’ new deal will run through the summer of 2031.
