Likewise, it has been specified that the estimated recovery time for this injury will be 12 months. Hours after the club's communication, the player posted a photograph on his Instagram after leaving the operation, where he wrote a message to the culé fans and to himself: "One day less to enjoy what I like the most. Thank you all for the support." In the snapshot, the player can be seen lying on the stretcher after his surgery, raising his thumb up, in a gesture that indicates that everything is going well.

Barcelona want to renew Bernal's contract

Despite this health problem, which will prevent him from even participating in the 2025/26 preseason, Barcelona is determined to show their confidence in him with a contract extension. Let's remember that Bernal had earned a place in Hansi Flick's starting 11, thanks to his great physical condition and his performance on the field. Now, the coach will have to choose players like Marc Casadó or Eric García to replace him.

Even so, the Blaugrana board is convinced that Bernal can be a world-class star, so they want to extend his contract until 2029. This guarantees him a professional registration and number as soon as he returns to the field. This is also a way for the team to protect itself from other clubs that were interested in signing him, such as Arsenal, Liverpool or Borussia Dortmund. The player is clear that he wants to succeed at Barcelona and wants to thank everyone for the trust they have placed in him, especially in these difficult times.
