Barcelona looking to renew the contract of 17-year-old La Masia gem who scored against Vissel Kobe | OneFootball

Throughout the preseason tour of last season, FC Barcelona managed to uncover new talents. This time around, they want to try their luck once again with some new faces. Fortunately, Hansi Flick continues to give youngsters at Barcelona the opportunities they need.

In fact, beyond just youngsters, even new signings were given their debut recently against Vissel Kobe. Despite being the first game of the preseason tour, Flick made sure that almost every player managed to get some minutes against the Japanese side.

One of the players who made sure to get the most out of his minutes was Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernandez. The 17-year-old La Masia gem looked sharp enough, but it was his brilliantly taken goal that truly made him stand out.

In fact, Fichajes has now reported that his recent performance has only accelerated movements within the club concerning his future. With a contract that currently expires in 2027, Barcelona are looking to renew his deal and secure his services for the years to come.

After all, he managed to impress Hansi Flick even before this recent debut against Vissel Kobe. Moreover, as one of the most promising young talents within the club’s youth ranks, Barça want to extend his stay and secure his signature in order to fend off interested clubs.

The player’s camp seems to be on board as well

Even the player’s camp seems to view this idea positively, believing that first team opportunities could continue to come his way if he keeps playing like this. Moreover, as he continues to be monitored during preseason, he has a great opportunity to continue shining for the team.

As for his profile, his ability to think quickly with the ball at his feet coupled with his vision makes him a great asset for Hansi Flick’s side. These traits make him a valuable addition to this team, and it remains to be seen just how far he can go to convince Flick to give him even more opportunities.
