Lamine Yamal: The salary update that the '19' would receive after renewing its contract with Barça

Lamine Yamal is increasingly establishing himself as a key player in the starting eleven of FC Barcelona. At just 17 years old, the Rocafonda prodigy has positioned himself as one of the best young players in the world.

The '19' from the Catalan club, as spectacular as he is decisive, had already shown great promise in the 2023-24 season, his first foray into the elite. However, during the 2024-25 season, not only has he solidified his importance in the Catalan squad, but he has also made it clear that his figure could be the foundation of a winning and exciting sports project, scoring 10 goals and providing 12 assists in 28 matches.

Given this, it's not surprising that FC Barcelona wants to secure their young star for many more years and further elevate his status to that of a star, a title he has earned through his brilliant performances on the field. Therefore, it's only a matter of time before the Catalan team, which in 2023 could only offer him a three-year contract due to FIFA regulations for underage players, presents him with a long-term contract ensuring Lamine's continuity in the club, along with compensation commensurate with his value and the team's economic reality.

The salary update that Lamine Yamal would receive in his contract extension

In this regard, journalist José Álvarez shed some light on the TV show 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' regarding what the new agreement for Lamine Yamal with FC Barcelona could entail. The contract extension is expected to be offered once he reaches the age of majority, i.e., after the upcoming July 13.

It is highlighted that the Spanish-Moroccan forward's earnings would amount to around 7 to 8 million euros net. This would make him one of the highest-paid players in the Catalan squad, just behind Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong.

Now, it remains to be seen if this proposal will materialize in this manner and if Lamine Yamal and his entourage will accept this alleged salary offer, as well as other aspects of the agreement expected to extend until 2030. This issue seems to be well on track, given that the '19' has shown his desire to stay at Barça on more than one occasion, and his agent, Jorge Mendes, who maintains a good relationship with the Catalan club, has also expressed a positive stance regarding securing the forward's continuity in the Blaugrana team.
