In a recent meeting held in Lisbon, Jorge Mendes, the renowned football agent, affirmed that Lamine Yamal is set to extend his contract with FC Barcelona. Mendes stated, "Lamine Yamal will sign a new deal at Barça, for sure. That's guaranteed." He further emphasized, "We only spoke about Lamine today; he's staying with a new deal."
The 17-year-old forward, who has been with FC Barcelona since 2015, currently has a contract valid until 2026, which includes a €1 billion release clause. The club aims to extend this agreement until 2030, reflecting Yamal's significant development and importance to the team.
Discussions between FC Barcelona's President Joan Laporta, Director of Football Deco, and Jorge Mendes have been ongoing, with all parties expressing confidence in finalizing the extension. The contract is expected to be formalized once Yamal turns 18 on July 13, aligning with FIFA regulations that limit the length of contracts signed by minors.
Yamal's impressive performances have not gone unnoticed; his market value has surged to €180 million, surpassing notable players such as Kylian Mbappé. He has also been instrumental in FC Barcelona's recent successes, including a standout role in their European Championship victory at the age of 17.
Both the club and Yamal's representatives are keen to ensure that the new contract reflects his growing status and contributions, securing his future with FC Barcelona for the long term.
