Cristian Tello and Barcelona have arrived at an agreement to renew the young footballer's contract which finishes on 30th June. Tello will continue with Barcelona until 2016 and will have a buy-out clause of €10 million.

It has been precisely the subject of the buy-out clause that has delayed the proceedings for longer than anticipated, the contract having been under negotiation since August. In the end, the deal was done and is likely to be signed next week.

In the case of Adriano, it was the defender himself who let the cat out of the bag, acknowledging that there had already been two meetings regarding the 'Azulgana' club's interest in extending its commitment. Adriano's contract is up in 2014 and Barça is very happy with his performance and attitude, prompting its interest in renewing.

"I would like to be with Barcelona for many more years. I think I am showing that through my football. We are already in talks, things aren't straight forward but the interest is there for my part, without any doubt, and I think it will be for Barcelona too. I want to get on with doing my job and the subject of renewal will work itself out", said the footballer.

Conversely, a player finding it difficult to make headway at Barça, at least this season, is Jonathan Dos Santos. The Mexican does not want to change clubs but neither does he feature in Vilanova's plans. He could eventually be making a move to the Premier League.
