Injured but still at the heart of discussions, Lamine Yamal, young FC Barcelona prodigy, seems more than ever linked to his favorite club. Under contract until 2026, the 17-year-old player, recently awarded the 2024 Golden Boy, reaffirmed his attachment to the Blaugrana colors.
Jorge Mendes confirms Yamal’s future at Barça
As part of the Golden Boy ceremony, Jorge Mendes, the player’s influential agent, dispelled any doubts about a possible departure. “Of course he will extend with Barça. Lamine, he’s from Barça! »he declared. A two-stage extension, imagined in 2023, will materialize when he turns 18, in accordance with FIFA rules. This new deadline aims to secure his future at Camp Nou until 2030.
A bright future despite injuries
Although Yamal is currently sidelined due to a right ankle injury, his market value continues to rise. With an estimate of 150 million euros and brilliant performances (6 goals and 12 assists this season), he is already seen as the future leader of Barça. The young player also expressed his ambition: “I dream of winning the Champions League with Barcelona and becoming a legend like Neymar, one of my idols.”
