The intention of Barcelona to renew Farinas’ contract began at the end of August, when the club elevated him to the first team and assigned him a senior squad number.
Discussions commenced around that time but gained traction towards the end of October following his debut against Alaves.
The sporting department then aimed to enhance his financial terms while securing a longer commitment to the club.
The negotiation proposes extending Farinas’ contract by three years, pushing its term from 2028 to 2031.
Although a shorter extension option was considered, it was ultimately set aside.

Farinas’ contract renewal aligns with Barcelona’s strategy to ensure that the contracts of its young players reflect their increasing significance within the team.
In addition to Farinas, the club has secured Raphinha’s contract until 2030, while Marc Bernal and Gerard Martin are also included in the renewal plans.
It is important to note that Farinas was on the verge of leaving Barcelona in the summer, with Girona being a potential destination.
However, Flick chose to retain him, and after some time, Farinas has successfully made his Barcelona debut and is expected to continue his growth within the squad.
