Barcelona has officially announced the contract extension of their promising young winger, Lamine Yamal, extending his stay at the club until the summer of 2026. The talented 16-year-old, known for his exciting footwork, made his Barcelona debut at the end of the previous season, marking a significant step in his career.
Yamal, who became eligible to join the Barcelona first team, chose to sign his first professional contract with the club despite reported interest from English Premier League side Manchester City. The contract extension, now in effect, has been prolonged for three years, the maximum duration allowed for minors.
The signing ceremony took place at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper’s office, attended by Barcelona’s President La Porter, Vice President Rafael Yuste, Sports Director Deco, and Youth Football Director Joan Solar. The contract includes an astonishing €1 billion release clause, reflecting the high expectations surrounding the young talent.
While Yamal is currently committed to Barcelona until 2026, reports suggest that the club has plans to extend his contract until 2030 once he turns 18, underlining their confidence in his potential.
