There has been a lot of speculation about Lamine Yamal's contract situation in recent weeks. His current contract expires in 2026, although he is expected to extend for a further five years once he turns 18 in July.
Barcelona are incredibly relaxed about the situation as they understand that Lamine Yamal is only thinking about staying in Catalonia. Nevertheless, his agent Jorge Mendes has provided another update on the situation with the 17-year-old sensation, according to MD.
“Lamine Yamal will definitely renew soon, he must continue in Barcelona. I can't tell you if it will be renewed in a month or two, but it will definitely happen.”
Barcelona will not officially announce Lamine Yamal's new contract until he turns 18, as he cannot sign a five-year contract until then (under-18s can also extend for up to three years). Either way, it's certain he'll be around for many, many years to come.
