World Sports: Barcelona will officially renew the contract with Bernard on Monday, with a penalty of 500 million euros

Hupu September 28th As the Spanish media "World Sports" previewed several days ago, Barcelona Club officially confirmed today: Mark Bernard will complete the renewal signing ceremony at the Barcelona Commercial Office next Monday. The renewal ceremony is open to the media, but the quota is limited.

As the end of September 2024, one month after the player was injured, Barcelona Club adjusted his contract in order to express their support for the youth training player and allow Bernard to recover with peace of mind: the original contract was extended to 2029 (the end of the youth team stage), and it is now extended to 2029, and a three-year renewal option has been added, with a liquidated damages of 500 million euros. On Monday, two days before the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, the two sides will publicly renew their contracts. Previously, due to the coordination of multiple parties, the ceremony date was severally postponed.

Mark Bernard suffered a serious knee injury at the beginning of last season. After 383 days away from the field, he finally returned from injury in the first game against Valencia. He completed an assist in just 10 minutes of playing time, which was a perfect return. Next, he will gradually increase the load. Considering the player's age and Barcelona's frequent injury history in recent years, neither Bernard himself nor the club are in a hurry to let him play at full capacity immediately.
