Espart celebrates Barcelona extension: “Wearing this shirt is a dream come true”

“Wearing this shirt is a dream come true,” Espart said in a message about his contract extension with Barcelona. The young defender also said he wanted to keep working and give his best to help the club achieve its ambitions.

Xavi Espart has extended his contract with Barcelona until 2030. He expressed pride in continuing his career with a team he says he has learned to love, and a determination to contribute to the club’s goals in the coming years. Barcelona announced the extension last Thursday, reflecting the club’s confidence in the player’s progress. Espart came through La Masia before gradually earning a place in the first team’s plans.

To mark the occasion, Espart posted a video on his social media accounts looking back at several stages of his journey with Barcelona. He paired it with a message expressing his attachment to the club since childhood. “I was born a Barcelona supporter, and I have played for this club since I was 8. Thanks to everything the club and La Masia academy have given me, I have been able to fulfil my first dreams,” he wrote.

The defender also said that representing Barcelona had always been a source of pride. Last season, he made his debut for the team in the Champions League; this season, his importance in German coach Hansi Flick’s plans has grown. He started 5 of Barcelona’s first 8 matches this season, underlining his increasingly important role in the team.
