Chelsea plan to meet clause for Barcelona teen Cubarsi

Chelsea are ready to renew their interest in Barcelona wonderkid Pau Cubarsi.

The Premier League giants are eager to sign the 17-year-old from La Masia in the coming months.

Per Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea will take advantage of a modest release clause in his contract.

The player is available for a value of just £8.5 million, given he signed a deal as a 16-year-old until 2026.

Barca will hope to get him to renew his deal, but may not be able to do so in time to stop a Chelsea bid.

Chelsea have also been assessing other young talent, having secured 16-year-old Ecuador international Kendry Paez recently.
