La Liga club push to extend contract of Barcelona target by at least two years According to a report from Mundo Deportivo , it has come to light that Barcelona are tracking Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro closely, but the situation is far from straightforward. It must be noted that Remiro’s contract runs until 2027, and that timeline has made him an attractive option for Barcelona. The club is already exploring the idea of signing him either at a reduced price this summer or waiting patiently to bring him in on a free transfer later.

However, Real Sociedad are not sitting back. Real Socieded not giving up As reported by the outlet, the La Liga club want to keep Remiro and have started working on a new contract that would extend his stay by at least two more years, with an additional option included. From their point of view, losing a key player like him, especially on a free deal, is not something they want to risk.

There is also an important detail that makes this situation more interesting. Remiro’s release clause is set to drop significantly this summer, going from €50 million to €12 million. Real Sociedad want to extend Alex Remiro’s contract.
