Lamine Yamal is set to sign a new contract with Barcelona, according to Fabrizio Romano. The agreement, which is expected to be formalised tomorrow, will see Yamal commit to the club until June 2031. The deal was finalised today, with the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, playing a key role in the negotiations.
The six-year contract extension is a significant move for Barcelona, with director Deco and president Laporta having been instrumental in securing the agreement. Yamal, who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger, has been with Barcelona since a young age and has developed a reputation for his pace and skill on the pitch. His style of play has drawn comparisons to other top players in the league.
Yamal’s commitment to the club was reaffirmed in recent weeks, with the player expressing his desire to continue succeeding with Barcelona, as reported on May 16. The club had been confident of reaching an agreement, with reports on May 14 suggesting that contract talks were progressing well. Earlier in the year, on March 5, it was indicated that Yamal was set to sign a new deal, further highlighting the club’s efforts to retain his services.
