'Thank you, Goren family, for trusting La Masia for your son's training as a player and person,' it added.
Goren, 16, joined Barcelona in the winter of 2023, arriving from Israeli club MP Tikva. The teenager is an interior midfielder by trade, but is capable of playing higher up the pitch or even as a pivot if needed.
The player spent the previous season alternating between the club's Cadete A and Juvenil B teams.
The youngster, capped seven times by the Israeli Under-17 national team, turned 16 years old in March, and his previous contract with Barça stood to expire this summer.
However, Goren has decided to continue his development with Barcelona by penning his first professional contract with the Catalan giants. The agreement is expected to keep him at the club until 2028.

'He has to leave, he won't play there again. I understand Ter Stegen. He has played well, he has been captain and he has his life in Barcelona. But he has to accept it. Barcelona have other ideas, other plans. 'These are decisions that must be accepted. There is no need to complain, it is part of football. It is not an isolated incident. It's not Hansi Flick, it's Barcelona. And nothing is bigger than the club, and that also applies to Barcelona.' Image viaAdvertisement Ter Stegen has a big decision to make It must remembered that a World Cup year has now started, with the next tournament taking place in North America next summer. As things stand, Ter Stegen will be Germany's starter, but that could change if he sidelined for the entirety of the 2025-26 season. Barcelona are hoping that Ter Stegen relents once the gravity of that situation kicks in, but for now, he is still looking to remain at the club he joined over a decade ago. However, that stance could change in the coming weeks.
