Barcelona have begun talks with Abdelkader Hamza and his representatives about a new contract for the young player.
Quick facts
- Barcelona want to improve Hamza’s current contract.
- His existing release clause is set at €15 million.
- No agreement has been reached, and the negotiations are not viewed as urgent.
- Further discussions are expected in the coming weeks.
The Catalan club are seeking better terms as they look to secure Hamza’s long-term future at Barcelona. They also want to eliminate the €15 million buyout clause in his current deal, which could enable him to depart for a comparatively modest fee.
Despite the opening discussions, the two sides have yet to settle on an agreement. Barcelona do not regard the negotiations as a matter requiring immediate resolution.
Starting the process underlines the club’s intention to maintain control of Hamza’s future and guard against possible approaches from elsewhere. Talks with the player’s representatives are expected to continue over the next few weeks while both parties pursue improved terms.
