On the run from Narco cops while buying stadiums and players, meet the drug lord who hid as a footballer
From working at a petrol station to using cartel money to fund his football projects, Sebastian Marset became notorious in Uruguay before his drug empire crumbled.
His performances in pre-season had already garnered significant attention, leading head coach Hansi Flick to express his belief in the midfielder's readiness for first-team football.
The extension of Bernal's contract allows him to remain with the club as he transitions out of the Under-19 ranks, with an option for an additional three years after 2026.
This strategic move not only secures Bernal's future at Barcelona but also signals the club’s intent to build a competitive team and even secure more finances in profit following their recent financial stagnation.
