Teenage Sensation Pledges Loyalty to Barça but Seeks Improved Terms in New Deal
Barcelona is working tirelessly to finalize a new contract with teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal, as interest from Premier League giants, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) continues to grow. The 17-year-old, who turns 18 in July, is set to sign his first long-term professional deal, but negotiations have become more complex as his profile skyrockets on the global stage.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Yamal is eager to revisit the terms of his contract, despite a previous agreement that would have doubled his wages. The young star, currently the lowest-paid player in Barcelona’s squad, is reportedly earning around €1.5 million annually—a figure that no longer reflects his immense value to the team. With his current deal set to expire in 2026, Barcelona is under pressure to secure his future and fend off interest from Europe’s top clubs.
Yamal’s representatives are pushing for a contract extension until 2030, with a significant increase in wages. Reports earlier this year suggested a potential salary of €7-8 million per year, but the final figure is still being negotiated. While the financial details remain unclear, one thing is certain: Yamal’s performances have made him one of the most sought-after young talents in world football.
Despite the buzz surrounding his future, Yamal has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay at Barcelona, the club he calls “the club of my life.” In January, he assured fans, “I want to play in the Spanish league. I want to play for Barca, and yes, I will renew my contract. I will.” His commitment to the Blaugrana has provided some reassurance, but the club knows it must act swiftly to avoid any last-minute surprises.
Barcelona’s financial challenges add another layer of complexity to the negotiations. However, losing a player of Yamal’s caliber is unthinkable for a club already rebuilding its identity. The teenager’s rise has been meteoric, and his potential to become a cornerstone of Barcelona’s future is undeniable.
As talks continue, Barcelona fans can take solace in Yamal’s unwavering loyalty. While Real Madrid, PSG, and Premier League clubs “continue to dream” of poaching the young star, Yamal’s heart remains firmly in Catalonia. For now, his renewal with Barcelona seems inevitable—it’s only a matter of time before the ink dries on a deal that could shape the club’s fortunes for years to come.
