Barça secure Shane Kluivert's future until 2028

FC Barcelona moved to safeguard one of La Masia’s most coveted prospects on Tuesday, announcing that teenage forward Shane Kluivert has put pen to paper on a new deal that ties him to the club through 30 June 2028.

The formalities were completed at the Joan Gamper Sports City, where José Ramón Alexanco, director of Youth Football, oversaw the ceremony alongside members of the club’s methodological staff. The extension, which covers the next two seasons, underlines the club’s determination to keep elite home-grown talent inside the Ciutat Esportiva.

Kluivert, who joined Barça from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, is entering his ninth campaign in blaugrana colours. Equally adept on either wing or through the middle, the Dutch youth international has been a standout of the storied 2007 generation, helping Juvenil A sweep an unprecedented treble last term. This season he has already featured for both the Juvenil side and Barça Atlètic, debuting for Juliano Belletti’s reserves in October 2025 and contributing two goals and two assists in 16 appearances to date.

By extending the 17-year-old’s contract, Barcelona ensure the Kluivert name—made famous at Camp Nou by his father, former striker Patrick Kluivert—will remain part of the club’s fabric for the foreseeable future.
