The new Barcelona contract from Lamine Yamal has been a regular subject of speculation in recent months, given that his existing deal ends in the summer of 2026. However, there is no reason for alert for supporters, because it is naturally considered that he will register as soon as he turns 18 in July.
This week there was further chat after comments from Jorge Mendes, who is Lamine Yamal's agent. He claimed that the subject of the new contract of the 17-year-old during dinner was discussed with various Barcelona officials, including President Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco.
However, this has now been refuted by Deco itself, who spoke about this prior to the 1-0 victory of Barcelona in Benfica in the Estadio da Luz on Wednesday evening, according to Relevante.
“Yesterday during dinner we were not talking about Lamine's renewal. We are not going to talk about a renewal of Lamine with 20 people at the table. We will talk when it's time. He has no better place to be. He enjoys himself and is happy and satisfied. '
Lamine Yamal signed his current deal in 2023 when he had just broken into the position of the first team in Barcelona. Since he was younger than 18, he could only register for a maximum of three years, so his contract must end next summer. Club officials wait until his 18th birthday in July before they confirm his new agreement, because he can extend his stay until 2030 at the earliest when they wait.
There is little doubt that Lamine Yamal and Barcelona want to continue together, and want any important changes, they will do this. Supporters will enjoy watching the teenage sensation for many more years, and they will hope that he will only get better and better.
