The future of Lamine Yamal is not the subject of any doubt. The crack of FC Barcelona (17) is however under contract until 2026, which means that it could have become a problem for the Catalan club this summer. But the player and the leaders, President Joan Laporta in mind, quickly clarified the situation: he is and will remain Blaugrana for very long years.
All that remains is to know the contours of the project proposed by Barça to his young star. According to Mundo Deportivoeverything would already be completed for an extension which should be formalized on July 13, the day of its 18e birthday. The Spanish sports daily even reveals that the winner of Euro 2024 with La Roja will stack until … 2030!
A new insane salary for Lamine Yamal?
Inevitably, his salary will be revised upwards even if, on this point, no information has leaked. Last September, the newspaper Marca had revealed that he received 1.5 million euros per season. A comfortable salary for an age player, but very far from what executives receive like Robert Lewandowski (€ 26 million per year) or Frenkie de Jong (€ 19 million per year).
With the performance he displays this season (11 goals and 16 assists in 33 matches in all competitions), Lamine Yamal will be able to claim income similar to those of FCB tauliers. Even if he said, he will not make a question of money. Its market value, already estimated at 180 million euros per Transfermarktshould also explode.
