Negotiations with Marc Bernal, who will be sidelined for the next twelve months with a cruciate ligament injury, are already in the final stages.

Bernal is on the verge of extending his contract with Barcelona, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona have decided to extend the contract of Marc Bernal despite his serious injury. They will give him all the add-ons for this current season, which he likely would have triggered if not for his injury. Barcelona, especially Deco, wanted to send him a strong message with this new deal.
