Barcelona's 17-year-old defender Pau Cubarsí has become the subject of interest from several Premier League clubs, with his release clause set at around €10 million ($10.7m), according to sources. Despite only signing his first professional contract with Barça last year, Cubarsí's impressive performances at the first-team level have expedited the need to secure him to a new long-term agreement.
Initially, negotiations were underway to improve the young center-back's contract, but his recent displays have altered the discussions. Sources close to the coaching staff have praised Cubarsí's maturity and bravery since making his debut as a 16-year-old in the Copa del Rey against Unionistas de Salamanca in January.
