The FC Barcelona could face an offensive move from Liverpool for Marc Bernal, a 19-year-old midfielder whose contract runs until 2029. According to journalist Juan Jesús and Transfer News Live, the English club is keen on adding the player, creating a new scenario in the FC Barcelona transfer market for 2027.

The team led by Andoni Iraola is closely monitoring the player's progress and is considering using his sporting situation to persuade him to leave Camp Nou. Atlético de Madrid is also among the clubs interested in the midfielder, although no formal offer has been confirmed yet.

The potential deal will mainly depend on the role Bernal plays in the coming months. The player aims to convince Hansi Flick, while the Catalan club intends to keep him in the squad.

Liverpool aims to capitalize on Marc Bernal's situation at FC Barcelona

Liverpool sees Bernal as an option to strengthen their midfield. As reported by Juan Jesús, the English club is monitoring his progress and may consider a move during 2027.

Competition within the Barcelona squad could shape his future. Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, and Rodri are key alternatives for Flick in midfield, requiring the youngster to compete for playing time.

The situation might evolve in the next few months. The journalist suggests that at the end of the season, by June 2027, the player's entourage will assess his involvement to determine his Barcelona future.

Liverpool's interest also aligns with the preferences of Andoni Iraola, who believes Bernal possesses intriguing qualities for the midfield. His ability to play as a pivot, recover balls, and orchestrate play from deeper positions fits the coach's criteria.

Nevertheless, FC Barcelona is currently not considering his departure. The club's stance would only involve negotiations if the player himself requests to leave, a scenario contingent on his sporting situation.

FC Barcelona has Marc Bernal protected until 2029

A major hurdle for potential suitors is the player's contract. Marc Bernal renewed on September 29, 2025, until June 2029, following a knee injury that stalled his progress for over a year.

The club had previously set a release clause of €500 million, safeguarding his continuity. Hence, any Liverpool attempt to sign him through negotiations would require Barcelona's approval.

His sporting evolution has attracted interest from other clubs. In the 2025/26 season, Bernal scored five goals with the first team, regaining prominence after his injury.

In the current 2026/27 season, the midfielder has played eight games, 311 minutes, and provided two assists in LaLiga, as per competition records. He has started three matches as a first-team player.

Atlético de Madrid is also monitoring his situation, and Diego Simeone is among the coaches interested in his qualities. This competition could increase pressure on Barcelona if the player considers a move.

For now, the next move lies with Bernal himself. FC Barcelona aims to keep him under Hansi Flick's guidance, but his performance until June 2027 will be crucial in determining whether Liverpool has a real opportunity to negotiate his transfer.
