New details about the possible renewal agreement of Lamine Yamal with Barça come to light

The renewal of Lamine Yamal with FC Barcelona has become one of the most discussed topics recently in the City of Barcelona. It is important to note that this interest does not arise due to doubts about the extension of the contract of this gem from the Barcelona academy with the club, as both the forward and his surroundings as well as the Culé institution seem destined to come to an understanding. The focus is more on the conditions under which this agreement will take place.

Initially, it seems clear that the extension of the contract, which will be signed once Lamine Yamal reaches legal age starting from July 13, will bind him to the club until 2030. However, a necessary modification in the salary aspect is expected.

Currently, his emoluments do not adequately express the importance that the forward has gained in the Barcelona sporting project. Particularly, after a notable 2024-25 season in terms of offensive performance: 11 goals and 16 assists in 33 matches.

Lamine Yamal's Salary: A Topic to Address

In fact, as reported in 'Mundo Deportivo', currently Lamine Yamal is receiving a minimal amount as a base salary for a player of the highest category in FC Barcelona. Additionally, it has been mentioned that the '19' receives greater benefits from the bonuses he earns.

With this in mind, it is not surprising that in this new contract the amounts are being renegotiated, especially considering that Lamine is among the best young footballers in the world, established as an undisputed starter both at FC Barcelona and in the Spanish national team. His numerous records and individual awards, including the Kopa Trophy from France Football and the Golden Boy from Tuttosport, along with his significant future potential, give him important negotiation power.

New Meeting between Deco and Jorge Mendes, Coming Soon

At this point, it will be crucial to observe how the conversations between the sports director of FC Barcelona, Deco, and the agent of Lamine Yamal, Jorge Mendes progress. Both parties appear to have a close relationship, maintaining constant phone contact.

Moreover, as mentioned in 'MD', it is expected that the sports management of the Culé team and the renowned Portuguese agent will meet again to discuss the renewal of Lamine Yamal, possibly during FC Barcelona's visit to Portugal to face SL Benfica in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on March 5. Subsequently, it is foreseen that Jorge Mendes will travel to Barcelona to continue the negotiations in person and finalize an agreement that seems to be on track without generating concerns or conflicts between the parties, despite the potential astronomical offers for the player and issues related to financial 'fair play' that may arise, such as possible difficulties in registering the new agreement for the Barcelona player.
