Barcelona 20-year-old starlet one step away from signing new contract | Barca Universal
"Now, according to journalist Matteo Moretto, Alvaro Cortes is just 'one step away' from signing a new contract with Barcelona. Cortes' current contract with the Blaugrana expires in 2027, meaning he would be entering the final year of his deal at the end of the season."
"As previously reported, Cortes, who was attracting significant interest during the January transfer window, had been seeking guarantees over first-team opportunities at Barcelona before committing to a new deal. The Catalans, for their part, have always had maximum confidence in his potential and have been working on an extension for a while now."
"The 20-year-old centre-back, who happens to the current captain of Barça Atletic, has been training with the senior team following the injuries to Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde. He was also called up to the matchday squad for two games - against Athletic Club and Newcastle United."
Alvaro Cortes, a 20-year-old centre-back and captain of Barcelona Atletic, has recently integrated into the first-team environment under manager Hansi Flick following injuries to Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde. He was included in matchday squads for games against Athletic Club and Newcastle United. Barcelona is now close to finalizing a new contract extension with Cortes, whose current deal expires in 2027. The club has maintained confidence in his potential and has been negotiating an extension for some time. Cortes had previously sought guarantees regarding first-team opportunities before committing to a new deal, and an agreement appears imminent. He may make his first-team debut against Sevilla.
