According to the report, Lamin Yamal’s binding to a new contract has proven to be more complicated than many in Barcelona.
The youthful sensation currently has a contract until summer 2026 and does not intend to go soon. Only last month Yamal claimed that it was “impossible” for him to join another club.
Yamals Agent Jorge Mendes expressed the same opinion. “Lamine will surely spend the night in Barca,” the Portuguese representative told reporters last week. However, a new deal for the 17-year-old was not yet in termination.
These contractual complications are a result of Yamal’s continuous excellence. It is effective in danger of getting too good – at least in view of the delicate financial reputation of Barcelona. The amazing teenager signed a three-year contractor in 2023 the longest contract for the then 16-year-old. AS claim that at the time of this agreement, Yamal unofficially agreed for a new contract until 2030, which should be signed in 2026.
However, the situation has “changed”.
When Yamal’s existing deal was announced in October 2023, he had only made ten leading appearances and still had to achieve a club goal. In the following 18 months, the right wing player of the fleet foot gave 78 other games for Barcelona and scored 19 times and at the same time played in Spain at Euro 2024.
Such a status understandably gave Yamal’s representatives a lot of power in negotiations with Barcelona. Earlier reports have shown that the club’s intention to limit the salary that was offered to its 17-year-old to avoid that they declined to the same vicious circle of constant contract extensions that Lionel Messi granted. Still, AS claim that Barcelona is still ready to make Yamal the best paid player in the club.
