Lamine Yamal can’t wait to dazzle the Camp Nou faithful.

The 18-year-old Barcelona wonderkid has penned a fresh deal with the club and will take on the iconic number 10 shirt next season, a number worn by greats like Messi, Ronaldinho, and Maradona.

“I’m really looking forward to playing in front of the fans at Camp Nou,” said Yamal, beaming with joy after his renewal was announced. The new contract runs until June 2031 and includes a jaw-dropping €1 billion buyout clause, showing just how much faith Barcelona has in their rising star.

Speaking to Barcelona media, Yamal reflected on his journey and ambitions: “It’s been a dream of mine since I was little. Both my family and I are very happy. Barça is my life. Since I arrived here at 7 years old, this is my home. For all the kids at La Masia, reaching the first team is a dream, and I’m making it happen.”

“My goal is always to win and continue to grow, as I’m very young. We’ll really enjoy this year and I’m sure we’ll win.”
