Barcelona is on the verge of securing a long-term commitment from their teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, with the youngster set to sign a new contract running until 2031. Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that all terms have been agreed following a meeting between Yamal’s agent Jorge Mendes and the club’s sporting director Deco.
The deal reflects Barcelona’s confidence in Yamal's future, with the club reportedly planning to make him the centerpiece of its branding strategy.
Following Ansu Fati’s likely move to Monaco, Yamal is expected to inherit the iconic number 10 jersey, a symbolic gesture emphasizing his importance to the team.
The terms of the new contract could also make him the highest-paid player at the club, thanks to substantial bonuses that recognize his rising influence and on-field performances.
Barcelona sees Yamal not only as a future star but also as a figure around whom the next generation of the club's identity will be built.
Former Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane added to the praise surrounding the young winger, expressing awe at his talent. Reflecting on Yamal's performance against Inter in the Champions League semi-finals, Zidane remarked that he had "never seen anything like it," calling his display remarkable.
Zidane highlighted how Yamal is becoming a role model for aspiring players, reinforcing the idea that Barcelona’s future may very well be anchored in his growing legacy.
