Barcelona is finalizing a new six-year contract with rising star Lamine Yamal, aiming to secure the 17-year-old prodigy until 2031 in a move that cements his status as a cornerstone of the club’s future.
The extended deal, set to be signed ahead of Yamal’s 18th birthday in July, follows months of positive talks with his agent Jorge Mendes and includes a significant salary bump, performance bonuses, and a Ballon d’Or incentive.
Yamal, who debuted for the senior team at just 15, has already made over 100 appearances for Barcelona, racking up 18 goals and 25 assists this season and playing a key role in the club’s La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup victories.
Having also become a standout for Spain’s national team, the youth academy graduate is widely viewed as one of football’s brightest young talents, with multiple individual accolades to his name. Barcelona’s push to finalize the deal reflects both the club’s confidence in his future and its determination to fend off growing interest from top European clubs.
