BARCELONA duo Sergi Samper and Munir El Haddadi have both signed new contracts until 2019, the club announced Tuesday.

    Samper’s previous deal was due to expire in 2017, but he has agreed a two-year extension with an option for one additional season.

    The midfielder’s new contract contains a 50-million-euro (US$55-million) release clause.

    Munir’s contract was also due to expire in 2017 but the promising forward has now put pen to paper on a new two-year deal with a release clause of 60 million euros inserted.

    He has since turned out 11 times in all competitions for the Catalan giants and will be part of Barca’s first team in 2016-17.

    Munir joined the Barcelona youth academy in 2011 after previous spells with Rayo Majadahonda and Atletico Madrid.

    He made his official first-team debut in August 2014, scoring once in a 3-0 win over Elche.

    Munir, who has been capped once for Spain, scored eight goals in 26 appearances in all competitions last term.  (SD-Agencies)
