Joan Laporta Confirms New Deal for Lamine Yamal

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed the club’s plan to extend the contract of Lamine Yamal, the talented wonderkid who has impressed this season.

The 17-year-old delivered an outstanding performance after helping Spain win the Euro last year and claiming the tournament’s Best Young Player award. This season with Barcelona, Yamal played a key role in securing a domestic treble: LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.

Yamal’s season stats are remarkable:

• 54 appearances in all competitions
• 18 goals
• 25 assists

Yamal‘s current contract runs until June 2026, but Laporta assured that an extension is on the way.

“Yamal is a special player who deserves special treatment in his new contract,” said Laporta.
