FC Barcelona renew Iker Rodríguez contract

FC Barcelona have agreed to renew the contract of 18-year-old goalkeeper Iker Rodríguez, with the player expected to sign shortly.

The agreement was reached after negotiations between the youth team staff and the first-team sporting direction. Rodríguez is seen as a long-term option to compete with Joan Garcia for the starting spot. He might even join Hansi Flick for pre-season training next week.

Additionally, he will compete with Eder Aller for the role of third goalkeeper behind Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny. newsbetting.bond
