According to "Daily Sports" report, Barcelona has initiated contract renewal negotiations for 18-year-old midfielder Juan Hernandez.

Juan Hernandez's agent met with the club's sports management yesterday to discuss extending his contract that expires in 2026.

When Juan Hernandez turned 18, a €6 million release clause in his contract was activated. At that time, many clubs considered paying the fee directly to sign him, but the player himself always regarded staying in Barcelona and realizing his dream as his primary goal, so he chose to stay with the team.

It is reported that the contract renewal negotiations are still in the early stages, but the communication atmosphere between the two parties is positive. Due to the player's outstanding performance and great potential, Barcelona hopes to finalize a contract extension as soon as possible to avoid other clubs pursuing him.

Last season, Juan Hernandez played 35 times in the Youth A team, contributing 9 goals and 2 assists, helping the team win the historic Triple Crown of the League, King's Cup and Youth Champions League.
