Barcelona are scrambling to secure young prospect Chadi Riad to a new contract.
Sport says the Mallorca-born centre back has shown his quality and is ready to move up a level, to Barca B.
However, that could be complicated. The player is out of contract on June 30 and has received a deal for two seasons plus two more. It's a low proposal and far from what his teammates received.
He has been compared to Ronald Araujo as he came through the youth academy.
Riad played in Segunda A with Sabadell at 17 on-loan - his first experience of professional football. This season, he's consolidated himself in Oscar Lopez's Juvenil A side.
