Barcelona intend to activate the option in midfielder Arturo Vidal's contract to extend his deal by a further year, having been impressed with the Chilean this season.
Vidal has been a vital part of Ernesto Valverde's squad since his arrival from Bayern Munich last summer, rotating with Arthur in the heart of Barcelona's midfield.
His current deal runs until the summer of 2021 but, according to Sport, Barcelona will not hesitate to extend that by a further year, as they intend to keep Vidal around for the foreseeable future.
Valverde is said to be a huge fan of the 31-year-old's determination to succeed, and sees him as a great influence on the rest of his teammates in the dressing room.
