Barcelona is preparing to announce in the coming days to extend the contract of its French defender Gul Conde until the summer of 2030, with the aim of ensuring that it will continue for a longer period and protect him from the temptations of external offers, according to Spanish press reports.
The importance of renewing the contract of Conde
Conde, 25, was one of the main elements in the formation of German coach Hans Felk last season, where he played 53 games in various championships, and contributed strongly to the team’s defensive system. The Barcelona administration believes that the player’s continuation is an important pillar in its sports project, especially since his current contract expires in June 2027.
What did Conde presented to Barcelona?
Since his joining from Seville in the summer of 2022, Conde proved his worth in the Catalan team shirt, as he participated last season in 53 games, during which he scored 4 goals and presented 8 decisive passes, to demonstrate the diversity of his roles between defense and attack.
Why extension until 2030?
The extension step for an additional five years aims to block the road on clubs interested in including the French defender, especially in light of the increasing European interest in its services. Barcelona seeks to secure its back line in the long run, and to maintain the stability of its basic formation.
Kondi’s launch with Barcelona
The beginning of the French defender with Barcelona has been strong since his move from Seville, where he was quickly in harmony with the playing style, and he succeeded in providing a fixed performance against the top competitors in the Spanish League and the Champions League, which made him one of the most prominent elements of the team in recent years.
