Barcelona has made it clear that renewing Lamine Yamal’s contract is a top priority. The 17-year-old forward has become a key figure for the club, and the Catalans are determined to keep him for many years to come.
Yamal has expressed his intentions — he wants to stay at Barcelona but is awaiting a new deal that reflects his importance to the team and his international status.
His agent, Jorge Mendes, has communicated these demands to the club, and Barcelona has responded positively.
The club acknowledges that Yamal is no longer just a young prospect. He is a full international and a regular starter.
The forward believes that his next contract should place him among the club’s top earners — something the club’s sporting department, led by Deco, agrees with.
According to Mundo Deportivo, financial challenges remain, but Barcelona is confident they can resolve them by May. Both parties have reached a verbal agreement in principle, but the deal will not be finalized until Yamal turns 18 in July, when he becomes eligible to sign a long-term contract.
Despite the uncertainty, both Yamal and his camp are optimistic. The player has shown no signs of wanting to leave and remains focused on continuing his success at the club.
