Jorge Mendes provides latest update on Lamine Yamal’s Barcelona contract situation

Lamine Yamal's current contract with Barcelona expires in 2026, but it is expected that he will extend it by five years once he turns 18 in July 2024.

Barcelona is confident that Yamal, who is focused on staying in Catalonia, will renew his contract.

His agent, Jorge Mendes, confirmed that Yamal's renewal is imminent, though the exact timing is uncertain.

Barcelona plans to officially announce the new contract once Yamal reaches 18, as players under 18 can only sign a maximum three-year extension. Regardless, it is clear that Yamal will remain at Barcelona for the long term.
