Barcelona in pursuit of renewing Lamine Yamal's contract by July

Barcelona is actively pursuing the long-term future of their promising young talent, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal. The Spanish kid has recorded 17 goals for Barcelona in 57 appearances. He is largely becoming the creative playmaker of the Catalans by recording 14 assists in the same appearances.

In the final match of the new UEFA Champions League group phase, the young Spanish talent scored the opening goal in the 47th minute against Atalanta. His contribution was instrumental in helping Barcelona secure a second-place finish in the standings after the group stage.

Barcelona to extend Yamal's contract 

Recent reports from El Chiringuito TV indicate that the teenage sensation is poised to sign a contract renewal with the Catalan club once he turns 18 on July 13.

The new contract presents an exciting opportunity for the young forward, with reports indicating that Yamal's annual earnings are expected to fall between €7m and €8m after the renewal. This substantial increase would position him among the club's highest earners, just behind renowned players such as Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong.

Barcelona has recently taken important steps to secure the long-term futures of its key players. 

Following successful contract extensions for Gerard Martin and Ronald Araujo, the club has also secured Pedri's commitment with a deal extending until 2030. Gavi is anticipated to follow suit in the near future.

After completing the renewals, the club will focus on Yamal, whose contract is secured until 2026. 

Although there is no immediate rush, Barcelona is eager to take proactive steps to solidify their commitment to one of their most promising talents, ensuring he remains an integral part of the team at Camp Nou for the years ahead.

Barcelona appears to be moving forward with a contract extension for Yamal, reportedly in agreement with his agent, Jorge Mendes, to extend his deal until 2030. This decision highlights the club's strong belief in his potential and their long-term vision.

Yamal to become the third highest earner in Barcelona 

Given the impressive strides Yamal has made over the past year, Barcelona is keen to present him with an enhanced contract that includes a notable salary increase. 

This proposed agrrement would position him among the highest-paid players in the squad behind Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie De Jong reflecting his rising demand in European football.

Barcelona looks determined to build a formidable squad centred around their homegrown talents, with Yamal poised to play a crucial role in realizing their ambitions.
