Liverpool and Atlético Madrid contest Marc Bernal's future

While Barcelona insists on keeping the 19‑year‑old young midfielder, Marc Bernal, Liverpool and Atlético Madrid are already showing interest, according to the Fichajes website. The Catalan club will only negotiate if the player requests a transfer, despite having already featured in 11 matches this season.

Match History and Goals

Last season, Bernal amassed 33 appearances for Barcelona, scored five goals and provided one assist, showing consistency in midfield. Bernal's contract runs until 2029.

In this campaign, he has already added 11 games. He started the full 90 minutes in the Champions League match between PSG and Barcelona.

Fichajes indicates that Liverpool plan to push for Bernal's signing as early as 2027. The “colchoneros” also express interest in the Spanish midfielder.

Barcelona want to keep the player in the squad and will only open negotiations if Bernal himself requests the move, despite being called up to the Spain national team and having a contract until 2029. He has already been called up to Spain's senior national team, earning his first cap.
