Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old Barcelona prodigy, is set to sign a new contract when he turns 18 in July 2025.
His current deal, which was limited to three years due to his age, will automatically extend for five more years once he reaches adulthood.
This move ensures Barcelona avoids any contract uncertainty as his value has skyrocketed, especially after his vital role in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory.
Though rumors of negotiations for an improved deal persist, Barcelona remains confident in retaining Yamal.
The club is keen to keep both Yamal and his agent, Jorge Mendes, satisfied. With strong ties to the club, Barcelona plans to secure Yamal’s long-term future, much like they did with Lionel Messi in the past.
