The jewel of Spanish football, Lamine Yamal, renewed its contract with FC Barcelona on Tuesday until 2031, after a spectacular season in which the young 17 -year -old has been the protagonist in the achievement of Laliga EA Sports and the Copa del Rey.
“FC Barcelona and Lamine Yamal have reached an agreement for the renewal of their contract, which will link to the club until June 30, 2031,” said the Catalan entity in a statement. The attacker is already one of the key pieces of the set trained by Hansi Flick.
According to the Spanish press, The new agreement makes it one of the best paid players in Barcelona, for about 15 million euros per year (17 million dollars). In Colombian pesos we would be talking about a figure of 70,615,500,000.
After triumphing in the 2024 Eurocup with Spain last summer, Yamal scored 18 goals and distributed 25 assists in 55 games among all competitions during the 2024/25 season. His ability and speed were key for Barça to snatch the domestic title to Real Madrid.
Yamal, who formed in the Masía, the minor divisions of the Catalan eleven and which is often compared to the Argentine star Lionel Messi, debuted in 2023 under the baton of Xavi Hernández with only 15 years. Despite his youth, he won a place among the headlines in his second year with the first team.
“The renewal of Lamine Yamal is a demonstration of the solidity of the Culer project. His is an appearance as few are remembered in the world football scene,” said the Barca club. “Since that day, Rocafonda has only growing in importance without neglecting its fun, brave and uncompleteed style,” Barça explained in his statement.
Serious candidate for the Golden Ball
At the end of the last 2023-24 campaign, it was erected as the main offensive weapon of the team, the only positive note to a course without titles. With Flick in front, Yamal fit perfectly in the attack style of the German coach, who also gave more prominence to the Polish Robert Lewandowski and recovered for the cause of Brazilian Raphinha, who also ended this season in a state of grace.
The Spanish explosion made him one of the best players in the world and firm candidate to win the Golden Ball. In addition, the young canterano had two brilliant performances in the semifinals of the Champions League against Inter Milan, although his team ended up losing 7-6 in the global computation.
“I will fulfill my promise and bring it to Barcelona,” he wrote on his social networks after the elimination in San Siro, referring to the long -awaited Champions League. “We will not stop until you leave this club where it deserves, at the top. This year it could not be. We will return, you have no doubt, Culrs.”
Despite his young age, since he will turn 18 in July, Yamal has played 106 times for Barça. This renewal comes after Raphinha and Flick also extended their contracts with Barcelona last week.
The Spanish media also report that the new contract of the young man includes bonus for different achievements, including winning the Golden Ball, as well as a significant increase in salary.
