Pedri's new Barcelona contract to include a billion euro release clause!

Good news for Barcelona. Pedri will sign his new contract with the club on Friday, extending his stay at Camp Nou until 2026. He will give a news conference on the day.

Pending the official announcement from the club, details about the agreement continue to emerge, with the journalist Fabrizio Romano revealing that the player will have a €1 billion release clause, a brutal increase on the current €400 million clause.

Pedri, still 18, will become the first Barça player to break the billion barrier in terms of a release clause. The previous highest was Antoine Griezmann's €800m.

Barça, meanwhile, tie down one of the game's brightest prospects for the foreseeable future.
