Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is making big moves, off the pitch.
The teenage sensation’s representatives have reportedly asked Barcelona to reward his rise with the highest salary in the squad.
Citing his growing influence, sharp performances, and unmatched potential, Yamal’s agency believes he is the club’s most impactful forward and deserves pay that reflects that. His ability to create goals and attract fans adds major value, both on the field and in the books.
Barcelona aren’t dismissing the idea outright. Club officials acknowledge Yamal’s importance but are wary of repeating past mistakes. They point to the massive wages of striker Robert Lewandowski and midfielder Frenkie de Jong, deals handed out under a previous regime, as examples of what they now seek to avoid.
Instead, the club aims to reshape its pay structure. The goal is to keep top talent like Lamine Yamal while building a sustainable model for the future.
