Barcelona are handing defender Chadi Riad a new contract.

The Morocco U20 international will be a key member of Barca B's team next season.

Sport says Riad will be handed a two-year deal with the option for another two years.

The defender will work with Rafa Marquez, who is set to replace Sergi Barjuan as Barca B coach.

Riad, 19, was born in Palma de Mallorca and his parents are from Morocco. Last season he was loaned to Juvenil del Sabadell and made his debut in the Segunda Division with their senior team.
