The interest of FC Barcelona is real for the left side, at the end of the contract in Paris in June. But, according to our information, the announcement of the


He is part of the club of five.

From this "manita" of players to extend or let go for PSG.

There are Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, of course, with contracts running until June 2022. But like Angel Di Maria and Julian Draxler, Juan Bernat is at the end of his lease in June 2021 and has the right to engage with the club of their choice since January 1.

But, according to our information, the Spanish left-back and the capital club are close to a final agreement for a contract extension.

All despite an almost blank season due to a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee in mid-September against Metz.

The official announcement of this signing could occur in the coming weeks, even before Bernat's return to collective training, scheduled for early April.

PSG has yet faced significant competition.

For several months, FC Barcelona has been pushing to attract the favors of the former player from Valencia and Bayern Munich, who celebrated his 28th birthday on Monday.

The people of Barcelona get information from his advice about his future and try to convince him of a future in Catalonia.

On the following little music: “In the event of a bad proposal from PSG, we will be there.

The holder of the post is called Jordi Alba (soon 32 years old), another left side passed by Valencia (2008-2012) ... just before the outbreak of Bernat (2011-2014).

Barça would like to repeat the same handover or, at least, strengthen this position of real competition.

In the worst case, he will have put pressure on a player from a rival club with whom the connection sizzles.

His priority has always been PSG

At this little game, Leonardo is not fooled.

The Parisian sports director had made the extension of Bernat one of his priorities.

Discussions are taking place, as he confirmed to France Bleu Paris last week.

Today, there are only a few details left to work out.

The stake is in particular salary for Bernat whereas he touches so far around the 4.5 million euros gross per season.

While being aware that a rupture of the ligament throws uncertainty on the continuation of a career and that this point does not benefit him.

His priority has always been PSG.

Barcelona's interest has only passed.

The capital club, which he joined in 2018, revived a failing player at Bayern Munich.

Before this serious knee injury, Juan Bernat had shown a precious regularity under the orders of Thomas Tuchel, just as he multiplied the decisive actions in the Champions League, in particular (Naples, Liverpool, Manchester United, Dortmund, Leipzig) .

His return with the group is scheduled for early April by PSG.

A late return that forced the leaders not to include him on the list provided to UEFA to compete in the Champions League.

Bernat will take advantage of the last month of competition in Ligue 1 to find some rhythm.

It then seems impossible to imagine him at the Euro (June 11 - July 11) with Spain after so many months of absence.

To this day, his main goal is to clarify his future.
