FC Barcelona and first team player Eric Garcia have reached an agreement to renew his contract for five more seasons, ending June 30, 2031.

However, according to MARCA, the top priority for Atletico Madrid director Mateu Alemany is to keep Alvarez at the club and, as such, he is already planning a renewal for the Argentine, who Laporta sees as the dream signing. With a €500 million release clause, a contract until 2030, and the club fully convinced that no player fits the post-Griezmann era better, no one at Atletico imagines a future without Alvarez. In fact, the club president, Enrique Cerezo, made it clear in a recent interview, stating that the striker was an undisputed part of their project and would not be sold.

It has been a slow and demanding recovery, but the Blaugrana never stopped believing in one of the La Masia players earmarked as a first-team star since his early days in the academy. Such is the faith in Bernal that Barcelona decided to renew his contract even before he had returned to the pitch, extending his deal until 2029 with the approval of the coaching staff and Hansi Flick.

Ferran Torres is enjoying a wonderful season with Barcelona so far, having elevated his game to the next level. The Spaniard has already racked up seven goals in all competitions, and although his form has dipped compared to early-season trends, he remains a key option for Barcelona upfront. Ferran showcased his worth once again by mustering a goal and an assist in Spain's recent win over Georgia.

As reported by SPORT, Barcelona are preparing to reopen renewal talks with Marc Casado after he joined forces with super agent Jorge Mendes. Casado had already agreed to extend his stay at the club in 2024 when he signed a new deal running until 2030. Those talks, however, were conducted under the guidance of his former agent, Jonathan Luque.

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to part ways with Vinicius Junior in the summer of 2026, according to a report from Sport Bild. The decision, said to have been made in the aftermath of Los Blancos' 2-1 El Clasico victory over Barcelona, could mark the end of an era for one of Madrid's brightest and most controversial stars. The 25-year-old forward, who has been instrumental in Real Madrid's success over recent seasons, reportedly clashed with manager Xabi Alonso after being substituted during the match.

The 22-year-old is already a useful player for them, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. The French defender has all the tools to develop into a top-class player for Chelsea with the right guidance. It will be interesting to see if the two parties can finalise an agreement. Gusto has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in the past.

Barcelona continue to focus on securing the future of their most promising academy talents, and Juan Hernandez's case is currently one of the most pressing. Under the guidance of Juliano Belletti, the young attacking midfielder has been in exceptional form for Barça Atletic, and has become one of the team's key figures this season. Hernandez's contract expires at the end of the season, and with no renewal agreement secured yet, reports suggested that PSG had taken an interest in signing the 18-year-old in 2026.

Manuel Neuer turns 40 next year but he continues to deliver at the highest level, and he's not showing signs of slowing down. In fact, he might get another year with Bayern Munich as a reward for his service in the current season. According to a report by Bild (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia), it was clear to everyone at the club that Neuer's current deal, set to expire at the end of the season, was to be his last one.

The issue is that Yildiz, despite being one of Juve's top performers in recent months, earns a salary less than €2 million - with 18 other players in the squad pocketing more. It is something that the Italian giants wish to address by offering a new contract, but in case talks do not go through as planned, the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea are ready to strike.

"Many people wanted me to leave from my first steps at Camp Nou, I can't name them all. Maybe I wasn't doing what they expected of me, but I always had a clear conscience about what I gave. I did everything I could," Raphinha shared.
