2024 will remain as the year of the hatching of Lamine Yamal. Already very prominent with Barça for several months, the young Spanish prodigy revealed himself to the world during the Euro in Germany, his repeated brilliance – like his goal scored against the Blues in the semi-final – being a big part of La Roja’s final coronation.
His exploits have obviously increased envy, notably from PSG and Manchester United. The two clubs thus came to the information last summer. According to Enric Masip, advisor to Barça president Joan Laporta, the capital club even sent an offer of 250 million euros for the young Catalan prodigy shortly before the Euro. Revelations denied by the French champions.
A release clause set at one billion euros
And according to Jorge Mendes, Lamine Yamal’s agent, his courtiers must make up their minds. His future is in fact being written with the Blaugrana and his contract, which currently runs until June 2026, is in the process of being extended. “ It is certain that Lamine Yamal will renew his contract soon, he should stay at Barcelona. I can’t tell you if it will renew in a month or two, but it’s certain”he confided on the sidelines of the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.
If the amount of the Spanish crack’s future salary has not been filtered, it should be much higher than his current emoluments, set at 1,670,000 euros per year. Likewise, his release clause will soar since it will now be one billion dollars. Enough to cool the ardor of his courtiers.
