Yamal has signed a long-term contract with Barcelona, securing his future at the club. The young star is excited to continue growing and helping Barcelona achieve great success. Fans are eager to see his talent shine on the big stage for many years.
Barcelona Secures Bright Talent for the Future
Barcelona has made a big move to keep their young star, Lamine Yamal. The club announced on Tuesday that Yamal has signed a new long-term contract with them, lasting until 2031. This means Yamal will stay with Barcelona for many years to come.
Why This Contract Is Important
Before this, Yamal’s contract was set to end in 2026. But Barcelona wanted to act fast to keep their talented player. The club’s leaders said this new deal is very important. Deco, the club’s sporting director, said this contract renewal might be “the best signing of the last few years.” The club president, Juan Laporta, also said that Yamal is a very special player and needs special care from the club.
Yamal’s Salary and Bonuses
Inside sources told ESPN that with this new contract, Yamal will get a big salary increase. This pay raise matches his important role in the team under coach Hansi Flick. But how much Yamal actually earns will also depend on his performance in games. If he does well, there are bonuses and rewards that will increase his income.
Yamal’s Amazing Career So Far
Lamine Yamal is only 17 years old but has already done many great things. He started playing for Barcelona’s main team when he was just 15 years old, which is very young for such a big club. Since then, he has shown he is one of the best young players in the world.
Last summer, Yamal helped Spain win the European Championship, a very important tournament for national teams. He also played a big role in Barcelona’s great success this season. The club won three big trophies, called a “domestic treble.” Yamal scored 18 goals and made 25 assists in 55 games this season. He also impressed fans with his strong performances in important matches like the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan and the big La Liga match called “El Clasico” against Real Madrid.
Why Now? Spanish Law and Yamal’s Age
When Yamal signed his first contract with Barcelona in 2023, he was still under 18 years old. Spanish law says that players under 18 can only sign contracts for a maximum of three years. That’s why his previous contract was shorter.
But Yamal will turn 18 next July. After that, there are no rules stopping him from signing a longer contract. So, Barcelona and Yamal took this chance to make a new deal that will keep him at the club for many more years.
Final Steps to Seal the Deal
Earlier this week, Yamal’s agent, Jorge Mendes, met with Barcelona’s president Juan Laporta. They discussed and finalized the details of the new contract. According to ESPN, this meeting finished the process of renewing Yamal’s contract.
What This Means for Barcelona’s Future
Signing Yamal until 2031 shows that Barcelona believes in him as a key player for the future. The club is planning to build their team around young stars like him. Fans will be excited to watch Yamal grow and continue to shine for many seasons.
