Barcelona won a different title on Tuesday, perhaps the most important in the middle and long term, by binding to Lamine Yamal until 2031. The Barca star, perhaps the best player in the world today with just 17 years, signed his renewal with the Catalan club with a salary of 15 million euros just per season. If the bonus is taken into account, their salary could reach 20 million annually, 40 before taxes, which will be the best -paid football player of the Barça team.
In the negotiation to seal the Lamine Yamal link for six more seasons, the player of the player, Jorge Mendes, was also the key, although the parents of the player also participated. Barcelona, via Deco, his sports director, urgently even moved to close the continuity of his star even of the expected interest, among many other clubs, of Paris Saint-Germain, who was already able to sign Leo Messi when he ended his long and successful stage in football.
In October 2023, Barcelona agreed to Lamine a contract of approximately 1.6 million annually to the player on July 13, 18 July. Since the contracts of minors cannot be more than three years, that link could still have an automatic extension for another three years, until 2029. Of the majority, the salary jumped at five million per campaign.
In this way, the entity that provides Joan Laporta ensures one of the pillars of the Hansi Flick project. No name has made this course more noise in the world scene than that of Moroccan origin stitcher, a gold mine that will be Culé what remains of decade. In fact, the new document has been brewing for months because the will of both parties coincided. It has the will of both parties. Barcelona needs Laminie as a flag and the European champion at Spain just wanted to continue in a project that adapts to his way of football and has allowed him to have stratospheric growth since he debuted a little more than two years ago.
And it is that the explosion of Lamine Yamal has been so large that in Barcelona itself did not want to stop the snowball that was created in every step that has taken his big promise. With every dribble, with every feint, with every pass and with every goal, all the zeros that were already justified in their termination clause were already 1,000 million euros from the previous agreement. This armor remains for the peace of the Barca partner and a huge salary climb has also been performed.
It was a hectic day in the city. The Barça delegation was the first to arrive in the Barça offices, installed in Camp Nou, led by President Joan Laporta, his vice president Rafa YUSTE, and Enric Masip, a member of the sports committee. After they came, Jorge Mendes and the football player themselves came, after which fifty fans presented themselves to celebrate the renewal of the Culé Jewel.
An agreement won by Pulse
The desired renewal comes after a season in which the young end has been one of the big flags of the Flick team. After winning the Eurocup with the Spanish team last summer, he returned to Barcelona and founded himself as a fixed at the end. He won the confidence of his new coach and not only responded with 18 goals and 22 assists, but also the most important player of the team in the decisive section. His draw against Inter Milan in the semi -final of the Champions League, the competition match against Real Madrid near Lluis Company and the goal that the title sealed in Cornellá, has placed him as a reference for Barcelona, something that the Culé missed in the farewell of Messi.
Barcelona worked with renovations for weeks. Lamine Yamal’s was marked in red, but it’s not the only one. Hansi Flick and Raphinha have already signed an extension and now Deco is working to reach similarities with Frenkie de Jong, who has raised his interest in the team this season, and Eric García, whose versatility is very similar. They are two priority folders for a board of directors that will go to the market this summer, but only to make touch -ups. The major revolutions have come to an end because the thing works.
