Official, Laporta finalizes Barça's new signing, contract until 2028: 'It's a gem'

The president and Deco have personally handled a key operation for the future

Barça is enjoying one of its best seasons in recent years with Hansi Flick, who has managed to instill an attractive and effective play style. One of the keys to Flick's success at the start of this season has undoubtedly been his trust in the young talents from La Masia.

The German coach has integrated several young prospects into the first team, allowing them to gain minutes and develop at the highest level. This has revitalized Barça, combining the experience of established players like Raphinha and Lewandowski with the drive and freshness of the young players.

Lamine Yamal and the Golden Generation of La Masia

In this context, the one who has emerged most strongly is Lamine Yamal, who, at just 17 years old, already has become the great star of Barcelona. His skill, vision of the game, and ability to make a difference on the field have impressed everyone. Lamine has demonstrated exceptional talent, capable of taking on responsibilities in the first team with surprising maturity for his age.

But it doesn't end with him, as alongside Lamine, other young players like Balde, Casadó, Gavi, Cubarsí, and Fermín are also becoming important or indispensable in the team. This generation of players promises to bring much joy to the culé fans in the coming years.

Barça Works on Renewals

In this regard, Barça is actively working to secure its long-term future. In fact, the renewal of Fermín López has already been finalized until 2029, reflecting the club's confidence in his potential.

Additionally, Gavi's renewal is almost finalized, with both parties in advanced talks to formalize his continuity at the club. But the most anticipated renewal is that of Lamine Yamal, whose contract will be extended until 2030.

However, due to his young age, the definitive signing of this contract will take place when the player turns 18. A renewal that will elevate him to his rightful status and that Barça has already agreed upon with Jorge Mendes, his representative.

The work at La Masia, however, doesn't end solely with these players. According to "El Nacional.cat," the club has also finalized the renewal of Jofre Torrents, a promising 17-year-old left-back who plays in the Juvenil.

Jofre Torrents is considered one of the great promises of the academy, and his renewal until 2028 reinforces the idea that Barça continues to strongly support its structure. The left-back has been closely monitored by the coaches, who hope he can follow in the footsteps of other left-backs trained at La Masia and compete with Balde in the future.
