Lamine Yamal’s Agent Confirms New Long-Term Deal with Barcelona
Barcelona is already reaping the benefits of Lamine Yamal’s immense talent at just 17 years old, and fans can rest assured that the young star will be staying with the club for the foreseeable future. His agent, Jorge Mendes, has confirmed that Yamal is committed to Barcelona.
During the Golden Boy Awards in Turin, where Lamine Yamal is set to win the prestigious title, Mendes addressed the player’s current injury. “It’s something he will recover from, and he’ll be fine soon,” Mendes said, reassuring fans.
Barcelona had announced that Yamal suffered an ankle sprain, ruling him out for three to four weeks, which means he will miss this weekend’s key clash against Atletico Madrid. Despite the setback, talks about his future remain positive.
When asked about a new deal for the Blaugrana starlet, Mendes confidently stated, “Of course, he’s going to renew with Barcelona. Lamine is a Barcelona fan.”
Currently tied to Barcelona until 2026 due to FIFA restrictions on under-18 players, Yamal is expected to sign a new six-year contract next summer when he turns 18. The updated deal reportedly includes a €1 billion release clause, securing his future at the club.
Lamine Yamal’s loyalty and talent continue to highlight his importance to Barcelona’s future as they invest in the teenager as a key figure in their plans.
