La Masia has seen many breakout stars in recent seasons, and the latest to take Barcelona by storm has been Marc Bernal. The 17-year-old midfielder had started the campaign in excellent form, although he is set to play no further part after rupturing his ACL last Tuesday against Rayo Vallecano.
Barcelona were devastated by Bernal's injury. As a result, a kind of “consolation prize” is prepared for him: a new contract. It's been in the pipeline for the past seven days, and now Marco say that the official negotiations are to start next week.

Bernal only renewed over the summer, although he could still do it for three years, because he is under 18. He does not reach this stage until next May, so it could be that a new contract comes into force in this stage, which allows them. to sign to Barcelona for another five or six seasons.
