Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has signed a new long-term contract with the club, committing his future to the Catalan giants until June 2031.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the deal was finalised on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, after key negotiations involving Yamal’s agent Jorge Mendes.
The agreement represents another major win for Barça sporting director Deco and club president Joan Laporta, who were determined to secure the teenager’s future amid rising global interest.
Yamal, who turns 18 in July, is already regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in world football.
Despite his age, he has quickly established himself as a vital part of Barcelona’s first team, contributing 19 goals and 25 assists across all competitions this season.
His performances have been instrumental in Barcelona’s successful campaign, which included a La Liga title, Spanish Cup, Spanish Super Cup, and a run to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Although his previous contract was valid until 2026, the club moved early to extend the terms and provide a salary that reflects his rising stature in the global game.
