Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal is set to extend his contract with the club beyond 2026, according to his agent Jorge Mendes. The 17-year-old Spanish international has been a key player for the Catalan side, earning the 2024 Golden Boy award after an impressive year that included helping Spain win the European Championship. This season, he has made 35 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 16 assists.
A product of Barcelona's renowned academy, Yamal has already played 86 matches for the club since making his senior debut in April 2023. His rapid rise has made him one of the most promising young talents in football, and Barcelona is keen to secure his long-term future.
Mendes confirmed Yamal’s commitment to the club after a meeting with Barca president Joan Laporta in Lisbon, emphasizing that the player's focus remains on his performance on the pitch.
Barcelona is preparing for a crucial Champions League round of 16 clash against Benfica, with Yamal expected to play an important role. His potential contract extension comes as a boost for the club, which views him as a key figure in its future.
As the team navigates both domestic and European challenges, Yamal’s continued development will be instrumental in Barcelona’s ambitions.
