Barcelona blow as star defender pens new contract with €100m release clause
The Bundesliga giants, however, have just reached an agreement for the player’s contract extension.
According to German paper Bild, the player has agreed to sign a contract extension until 2021 with a € 100 million release clause included in it.
Barcelona would probably struggle to match the player’s release clause given and if they really want to sign the 18-year-old they may have to talk to the representatives of the Bundesliga giants in order to negotiate a lower transfer fee.
Meantime, the rock-solid defender could become one of the most expensive defenders in the history of football.
