At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal has already established himself as a key player for Barcelona, with the club now set to offer him a long-term deal that will secure his future at Camp Nou for years to come.
This news has come as a relief to the fans of the Catalan club, who have watched the prodigious talent grow in stature over the last year. Yamal, known for his brilliant performances on the pitch, has captured the hearts of many Barcelona supporters, who can now rest easy knowing that he is committed to staying with the club.
During the Golden Boy Awards ceremony in Turin, agent Jorge Mendes confirmed that the young star will renew his contract with Barcelona. Speaking about the renewal, Mendes said, “Of course, he’s going to renew with Barcelona. Lamine is a Barcelona fan,” effectively ending the rumors surrounding the teenager’s potential departure from the club.
As Yamal continues to recover from an ankle sprain, which has kept him out of action for three to four weeks, fans are eagerly awaiting his return. His absence will notably rule him out of Barcelona’s upcoming clash with Atletico Madrid this weekend, but Mendes reassured supporters by saying, “It’s something he will recover from, and he’ll be fine soon.” Yamal’s injury is expected to be a short-term setback, and his return to form is anticipated in the near future.
Yamal’s current contract with Barcelona runs through 2026, though it was initially limited to three years due to his under-18 status. However, once he turns 18 in the summer of 2025, he is expected to sign a new six-year deal with Barcelona, one that will include a staggering €1 billion release clause, ensuring his future at the club for a long time. Reports suggest that the details of the agreement have already been verbally finalized, further fueling excitement among Barcelona fans.
