This is how Pau Cubarsi lives
On January 21, 2007, Xavi Hernández played his 299th game for Barcelona in the Spanish league. The next day, Pau Cubarsi was born. 17 years later, the central defender under Xavi's coaching plays in the Blaugrana's first team and gains fans' love! Barca's head coach notes that Pau is not just one of many young prospects, but a special player who already plays like a team captain!
«He’s already playing like a captain! I am not sure how old he is! He looks like a veteran, with his ball delivery and his aggressiveness in defense, and he doesn’t lose duels. I’m very satisfied with him», - Xavi says.
Probably no one would have known about Cubarsi so early on if it hadn't been for his forced debut, when he started the game against Betis in January due to Andreas Christensen's injury. That was the night when Pau immediately showed a game of extra class and after that match, 17-year-old Cubarsi was left on the bench only once in La Liga, becoming an indispensable player in the starting eleven!
«I have been at this club all my life. But when I go onto the pitch I'm not thinking about my age. I feel like one more player helping the team, and I just try to give everything I have», - Cubarsi assures.
The boy's maturity shocks even Robert Lewandowski! Catalunya Radio has only recently revealed Pau's dialog with the Pole in the locker room after that match against Betis:
Pau, how old are you?
16 years old and recently turned 17.
Don't lie to me...
No, I swear, Robert, I'm 17.
Listen, it's impossible to believe. It's impossible to play this performance in a game at this age. I've never seen anything like this before.
Cubarsi's life is turning into a real dream and we think it deserves your likes!
And there is a person who noticed Pau's abilities even before he became famous. This is Pau's friend Lamine Yamal, someone with whom they played for a youth team of the same age and share a room in La Masia and now in the national team camp:
«I had always seen Pau Cubarsí as different, ever since we were kids. Pau is a top three defender in the world at bringing the ball out from the back. He's a very nice guy, I almost have him as a housemate, because we live together in La Masia. A nice, humble kid, very good, very good person», - Yamal reveals.
It's no wonder that now there are such unpleasant, but still expected transfer rumors around Cubarsi. Chelsea and PSG want the Spaniard, who never seem to get tired of taking their best talents from the Catalans! In order not to lose their diamond, Barcelona are ready to offer 17-year-old Pau a new long-term contract.
According to the latest information from the Marca newspaper, the contract extension will have two stages. As Cubarsi is still a teenager, he cannot sign a long-term professional contract yet, but the club will give him an improved deal for a little less than a year until he turns 18. After that, Pau's contract will see a slight increase of the release clause, as it is currently worth around €10 million, which is very dangerous for the Cules.
When the defender is 18, he will be able to sign a proper contract that will last until 2030 or 2031, depending on when it is signed, and the release clause will reach 1 billion euros, as was done in the case of Lamine Yamal.
Cubarsi's salary is still unknown and it's hard to estimate, but according to the Capology service, his friend Yamal receives 32 thousand euros a week. Barca will not skimp on Pau and will try to equate him to the same level, doubling his salary after each season to gradually bring him to the level of Ronald Araujo, who receives 7-8 million euros a year.
Marca adds that neither side is nervous and is looking for a compromise. Cubarsi and his family want to stay in Barcelona because they feel more comfortable there than anywhere else.
And this makes sense, because Pau has been in Catalonia since birth. He took his first steps at the Girona Academy, but in 2018 he ended up at La Masia, where he grew up and came to where he is now, thanks to Barça's coaches. In fact, not only the coaches! La Masia has a 24/7 teaching staff, psychologists and various mentors who provide students with scientific knowledge so that they always have the prospect of becoming someone else if football suddenly doesn't work out.
