Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have made their interest in Pau Cubarsi known as Barcelona race towards agreeing on a new deal.
According to TBR Football, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United are attentive to the situation of Pau Cubarsi and have made their interest known. The 17-year-old Barcelona prodigy has a modest release clause in his current deal, with the Catalans eager to bring forward a new deal for the teenage defender.
Premier League trio in Pau Cubarsi chase
Pau Cubarsi could become an exciting topic ahead of the summer window, as there’s plenty of attention paid to his contractual situation with Barcelona. The 17-year-old defender has a release clause worth a reported £12 million in his current deal that expires in 2026, which has got the attention of top Premier League sides.
Cubarsi has become a regular under Xavi Hernandez in the second part of the season, and the club are essentially leaning towards keeping him for the long-term future. However, a swift move from Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United would go a long way in testing Barcelona’s resolve.
Arsenal, in particular, are eager to add a new centre-back to their squad and view the 17-year-old Barcelona prodigy as the perfect talent for their young team. Chelsea are also looking to add to their project, and a young player of Cubarsi’s calibre would please their ownership, especially for that price.
Manchester United are ready to rival Chelsea for the teenager and could look to add him to their side for next season. They are also looking at new defenders, with many of their existing ones about to become a part of a significant clearout, and the Red Devils would love for a player of the calibre of the 17-year-old Barcelona prodigy.
Barcelona desperate to agree a new deal with Cubarsi
Barcelona know the contractual situation with Cubarsi and may feel the defender has no reason to quit his boyhood club. Coming through the ranks of La Masia, any player would dream of being in the position Cubarsi finds himself in, and hence, the Blaugrana are ready with a new contract offer until 2029.
There is a general feeling that Cubarsi is leaning towards signing a new deal to see Barcelona insert a massive release clause. Losing the teenager for his current release clause would have been a blow to the club’s finances and what the player could achieve. Hence, all factors point towards the defender signing on new terms and committing his near future to the Spanish giants.
