Madrid: Barcelona fullback Martin Montoya has agreed a four-year contract extension until the end of the 2017-18 season, the Spanish champions said on Saturday.
A product of Barca`s academy who has featured in the Spain squad without making his international debut, Montoya has been second choice at right back this season after the club`s Brazilian international Daniel Alves.
The 22-year-old made his La Liga debut in February 2011 and has played 53 matches, scoring two goals.
Montoya`s new deal has a buyout clause of 20 million euros and he will sign the contract in coming weeks, Barca said on their website (www.fcbarcelona.es).
