World Sports: Barcelona believes it is very close to reaching an agreement with Conde, and they hope to renew the contract before the summer window is closed

According to World Sports, Barcelona believes that it is very close to reaching an agreement with Conde on a contract extension.

Barcelona management is working hard to finalize the roster for all the championships this season, and the team has also determined medium- and long-term plans, including a renewal with Conde, because he is trusted by Flick. Kong De's existing contract will expire in 2027, so his contract renewal is relatively less urgent than De Jong.

However, according to World Sports, after several negotiations with Conde's agent, especially in recent times, Barcelona believes that the two sides are very close to reaching an agreement on renewal. If possible, Barcelona even hopes to complete Conde's contract renewal before the summer window closed on August 30, provided that it meets La Liga's financial fair competition standards.

club management and the technical team led by Frick are full of confidence in Comte. The French defender has performed well since joining and has become an important member of the team's right-back position.

Conde transferred from Sevilla to Barcelona in the summer of 2022, with a transfer fee of 50 million euros plus a floating clause of 10 million euros. At that time, he rejected the invitation to pay a higher salary from Chelsea and chose to join Barcelona. It turned out to be a right decision because he has helped the team win two La Liga titles in the past three seasons.

Although he missed the Champions League semi-finals against Inter Milan due to injury, Comte still showed a very high level of competitive performance in 53 games (of which 50 starts). Although he occasionally went to training late, resulting in Frick's punishment on the bench by law, Conde became a role model in the locker room with his impeccable professional attitude.

His cooperation with young player Yamal on the right is one of the key factors for Barcelona to win the domestic triple crown. Especially in the Cup del Rey final against Real Madrid, Comte scored the winning goal in the last moment of overtime, which made himself loaded into the club's history.
