Everything is clear about Lamine Yamal. That's where he'll play
In Catalonia, there is a belief that Yamal will soon sign a new, star-studded contract with Blaugrana. As reported by "Libertad Digital", the agreement is practically ready, and the announcement of the new contract is to take place next week.
The 17-year-old, who plays alongside Robert Lewandowski, is set to join Barcelona for another 5-6 years, meaning he has a chance to play for the Blaugrana until 2031 or 2032. He is also set to receive a huge pay rise. This season, Lamine Yamal is earning €1.6 million net per year, and as soon as he signs a new contract, his salary is set to increase to €15 million net.
In addition, together with his agent, he was supposed to guarantee himself a signing bonus of 25 million euros. However, this is to be spread over five years. Jorge Mendes no longer even hides the fact that his protégé will stay at Barcelona.
The Portuguese flew to Barcelona to meet the teenager at an exclusive restaurant and discuss details with the footballer. As soon as he finished the meeting and went out into the street, journalists immediately rushed to him.
"Of course Lamine will renew his contract. There will be no problem. We will do it soon. He will be the best player in the world," said a confident Mendes, adding that he was convinced that the star would win the Ballon d'Or.
"Lamine didn't ask to be the highest-paid player. We don't talk directly to the players, only to the agents. He wants to be happy here," FC Barcelona sporting director Deco said earlier in an interview with "Mundo Deportivo".
Interestingly, there are rumors in the media about the huge amount that PSG offered for the brilliant teenager. As the sporting director told RAC1, the Parisians made inquiries. The French giant was supposed to offer a whopping 250 million euros. "PSG asked about him, Real didn't. They didn't ask because we wouldn't have answered ," laughed Deco.
