FC Barcelona has announced that Lamine Yamal would be his new number 10, while confirming the renewal of his contract.
The Blaugrana club made sure the services of its talented player until 2031, thanks to a six -year contract.
The Blaugrana have announced that Lamine Yamal would be their new number 10 via a video, with a wall fresco painted in its Roca -Infant district of Mataro, a city near Barcelona. Lamine Yamal inherits the Ansu Fati issues, who himself succeeded Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho.
Lamine Yamal aims for victory in C1 this season
Addressing the media of the Barcelona club after the renewal, which will maintain him at the club until the age of 23, he described this as “a dream”.
“It's a dream since I was young, and I am very happy, with my whole family here. It's a dream.
The club is my life. I have been here since the age of seven years, it's my house. Arriving as a first team since the Masia is a dream, now I realize this dream, and I must continue to work. »»
Regarding his objectives, the young man who has just been 18 years old was clearly in mind.
“Win, always win, take pleasure and continue to progress. But above all win. »»
“(At fans, I would like to say that) I can't wait to play in the new stadium, we will have a lot of fun and we will win, without a doubt. »»
Its new contract will make it possible to rule out any interest from other major clubs. Last season, Paris Saint-Germain had inquired about the young player then aged 16, with figures around 200 million euros for the young prodigy. It has a release clause of one billion euros and should become one of the best paid players in Barcelona, with a basic salary of 8 million euros per year. This salary will be completed by bonuses and should also increase over time.
Contract renewals on the horizon
However, it is unlikely that it is its last lease renewal before 2031. Lamine Yamal is already compared to Lionel Messi, who benefited from almost constant renewals, with salary increases every two years for Argentinian. If Lamine Yamal continues to progress, his agent Jorge Mendes will undoubtedly renegotiate regularly with the Blaugrana.
