Lamine Yamal once again makes it clear that he does not see himself leaving Barça

It increasingly gives the impression that the idea of Lamine Yamal and FC Barcelona being destined to come to an understanding for a possible future renewal is becoming clearer. The Barcelona team aims to make the young culé star the centerpiece of their future sporting project, and number '19' seems equally delighted to wear the Blaugrana shirt, the one from the club where he developed as a player in La Masia and which, regardless of his age, has given him the opportunity to establish himself among the elite, being the perfect stage for him to display that 'bold' style of play that has captivated a large part of the global football fan base.

In this regard, Lamine Yamal has made a new declaration of intent regarding the contract renewal that expires in 2026. The player from Mataró spoke in an interview for 'CNN Sports Dubai,' where he shared exciting news about extending his contract with Barcelona. "I don't know when the contract will be signed, but it will be soon. Barça is the club of my life, I hope to renew and stay for as long as possible. I want to play in La Liga and for Barça. Yes, I will renew my contract," the right winger commented.

It is worth noting that the issue of Lamine's renewal had already been practically confirmed by Jorge Mendes, his agent, in his most recent appearance in the media during the Globe Soccer Awards, where he also stated, more or less explicitly, that he had no doubt about Yamal's contract extension with Barça.

Working alongside Hansi Flick

In a different context, Lamine Yamal, in this interview, did not hesitate to discuss the management of the dressing room by Hansi Flick and some features of the Barcelona sporting project under the direction of the German coach. "It is true that Hansi is a different coach with a different style of play. We try to adapt to what he says. He is doing very well. This 2025 we will go all out to win titles, starting with the Spanish Super Cup, and hopefully, it will be the best year of our lives," the Spanish-Moroccan pointed out.

Barcelona's Title Ambitions for this Season

Speaking of the possibility of winning titles, Lamine emphasized the importance for him and the culé team of Barcelona being able to clinch the LaLiga EA Sports title this season. "In the end, the League will be won against the teams we have lost to before. I believe it is a matter of concentration. We have shown in crucial moments that we are the best and will continue to do so. I have no doubt that we will win the League," Yamal affirmed.

Lamine Yamal Pays Tribute to His Idol, Neymar Jr.

Finally, regarding the football aspect, the player from Mataró reiterated what he has expressed on previous occasions about his idol, Neymar Jr.: "I was five years old when I saw Neymar at Santos, and at seven years old, I saw him in person at Camp Nou. It was incredible to see him. Yes, it's true, Messi was there too, who was also incredible, but Neymar was something different. Neymar has always been my idol. He is a football star and a legend," he concluded.
