Barcelona want to renew the contracts of another 5 players

The brass at La Liga giants Barcelona are actively working to tie five members of the club’s first-team ranks down to new contracts.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who have this week provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The next major announcement when it comes to player terms in Hansi Flick’s squad is expected to arrive later this week, upon star frontman Raphinha’s new deal being made official.

Deco and co, though, will be far from finished there…

As per a report from MD, those in a position of power in Catalunya’s capital are also keen to reward several others with improved terms, in recognition of their respective efforts over recent months.

New contracts for youngsters Marc Bernal and Xavi Espart are both labelled as ‘in the works’, with defender Gerard Martín and midfield starlet Brian Fariñas also in line for long-term extensions.
