FC Barcelona is experiencing a rather paradoxical situation. In the midst of a financial crisis and in a very tense climate in the offices, the Catalan club nevertheless sees the team performing particularly well on the pitch. Five wins in the first five days of La Liga, a Hansi Flick who has already won everyone over with his resolutely attack-oriented game. The former Bayern player is well helped by individuals who are delighting, like the star recruit of the summer Dani Olmo, who has already scored 3 goals in as many games. Everything is going well on the sporting front then.
Among these players who are doing well under the German coach, we obviously find Lamine Yamal, author of a double against Girona this weekend. The Spanish international is still on cloud nine and already has 3 goals and 4 assists to his name in La Liga. And this, while he has raised some concerns in Barcelona recently. Not because of his level, but rather because of his opponents, who are increasingly rough in their interventions, and the Barça management is afraid of possible injuries.
A nice gift
The Catalan press also explained that the Barcelona club has called in a private security company to take care of the player and his entourage and ensure that nothing happens to them, while the player’s father was stabbed following an argument earlier this summer. This Monday, Brand reveals a new measure from Barça to ensure that its player is happy and well pampered.
Joan Laporta will thus offer him a substantial salary increase, in line with his status. He currently earns 1.5 million euros per year, which is huge for a teenager, but low for a player who is already one of the stars of the football world. The Spanish sports newspaper does not give figures on his potential future salary, but we imagine that it will place him among the highest paid players in the team. Barça will also negotiate with Jorge Mendes, the Spaniard’s agent, so that his contract is automatically renewed until 2030 once he turns 18. His current lease expires in 2026. The club wants to pamper the players who came from La Masia and also intends to offer new salaries to Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Pau Cubarsi. A strong bet.
