Barcelona are closing in on securing one of the brightest young stars in world football, with Lamine Yamal set to sign a long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2031.
The 17-year-old sensation has been one of La Liga’s standout performers this season. His creativity and fearless play have helped him top the charts for assists (13), dribbles (161), and big chances created (28).
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano super-agent Jorge Mendes has been instrumental in finalizing the terms with Barcelona’s management. Sporting director Deco and president Joan Laporta view Yamal’s extension as a major priority and a clear statement of the club’s direction.
By tying down Yamal before his 18th birthday in July, the Catalan giants are investing in a long-term vision built around homegrown talent. The new deal is expected to be signed on Wednesday.
Yamal’s rise this season has thrilled fans and pundits alike, and his commitment to Barcelona could be the foundation of the club’s next great era.
