Official: Iker Rodríguez renews with Barça until 2029
The 18-year-old keeper, a starter for Barça Atlètic, also gives the club an option to extend his deal until 2031.
Barcelona have tied down Iker Rodríguez, the 18-year-old keeper who starts for Barça Atlètic. He signed his renewal this afternoon until 2029, with a club option to extend it to 2031, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The deal had been considered done since early July, when the club moved after several European sides showed interest, but paperwork and scheduling pushed the signing back. His current contract ran until 2027. Iker has been capped at every Spanish youth level from Under-15 to Under-19, and this season he was first called up to the senior squad for the Sevilla-Barça match when Joan Garcia was ruled out with knee discomfort.
In Segunda RFEF Group 2, his side top the table having conceded just four goals in eight matches. Livakovic's arrival changed the original plan of him serving as third keeper for the first team, but the club sees him making the step up once Szczesny's contract ends in 2027.
