Barcelona has confirmed highly-rated 19-year-old Carles Alena has signed a new contract.
The Spain Under-19s captain is one of Barca's most promising talents, having risen through their youth system.
The midfielder attracted interest from the Premier League this summer, with Tottenham said to be preparing an offer for him.
However, Alena has committed his future to the Catalan side, signing a new deal which includes a €75 million release clause if he makes the first team.
Alena has already featured four times for
the Barca senior squad, making substitute appearances in La Liga against
Granada, Sevilla and Osasuna, while he also started and scored in a Copa del
Rey clash against Hercules.
He played 23
league games for Barca B as they went on to win the league title.
