At 17 years old, Lamine Yamal Has Become Barça's Football Leader. What he is doing this season is simply spectacular. With Hansi Flick, the young winger has showcased all his qualities, already being indisputable in the starting eleven and the offensive engine of the team.
His boldness, refined technique, and ability to decide matches have won over the Barça fans, who see him as the great hope for the present and future. Accompanied by figures like Pedri and Raphinha, Barça is soaring this season. Lamine Yamal is largely to blame and has already scored 13 goals and provided 17 assists so far this season, figures that many established players would dream of having.
A Short Contract
However, Lamine Yamal's contract only runs until 2026, which generates some unease among the fans, although not so much within the club. The current contract was signed when he was still a youth player, and according to FIFA regulations, he can't sign longer contracts until he turns 18. Until then, the player's entourage and the club must handle the situation with caution.
Jorge Mendes Has an Offer for Lamine Yamal
In this context, according to 'El Nacional', Jorge Mendes, Lamine Yamal's representative, already has a million-dollar offer from Saudi Arabia on the table. With his current performance, Lamine Yamal has become a priority target for the Saudis alongside other stars like Vinícius or Rodrygo.
Jorge Mendes, always alert to opportunities, has conveyed the proposal to the player's entourage, although for now, there are no signs that it will be considered. Lamine's family and the footballer himself are focused on continuing to grow at Barça, where he is already an absolute star and where he has the full confidence of the coaching staff.
Barça Has Agreed on His Renewal
Despite this situation, there is no concern at Can Barça. Lamine Yamal's renewal is agreed upon with the club, and both parties have agreed to formalize it completely when the player reaches the age of majority in July. It will be then that he can sign a long contract in line with his status, shielding him from any external temptation.
Lamine wants to stay, Barça wants him to be the pillar of the sports project, and his renewal will be an absolute priority in the summer. For now, the fans can be at ease, the future is in good hands, and the present is led by Lamine Yamal.
