At 17 years old, and already in sight for the Ballon d’Or in the future, Barcelona star Lamine Yamal could be the most valuable player on the football market. However, he has promised to continue with the Blaugrana.
Lamine Yamal has a contract with the club until 2026, but Barcelona will be desperate to tie him down long-term. It has been reported that the club had planned a deal until 2030 with him, but the terms are being renegotiated after his explosion in the last year.
However, the teenage star appears calm about the situation.
“I don’t know when (the contract will be signed), but I think it will be soon. In the end, Barça is the club of my life. “I hope to renew my contract with them and be with them as long as possible,” he explained to CNN Sport.
“I want to play in the Spanish league. I want to play for Barça and yes, I will renew my contract. I will do that.”
The arrival of Hansi Flick this summer has been good news for all of Barcelona’s forwards this season, and Lamine Yamal has become the team’s creative center alongside Pedri.
“It is true that Hansi is a different coach. The style of play is different. “We have sought to adapt to what he has told us and I think we are doing well.”

“In 2025 we will give everything to win trophies, starting with the Spanish Super Cup and I hope it will be the best year of our lives.”
He was adamant that Barcelona would turn things around in La Liga too, after just 5 points from 7 games left them behind Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
“Of course. There is no doubt. In the end, we will win the League against the teams we have lost to before. I think it is about concentration. We have shown in important moments that we are the best and we will continue to do so.”
Lamine Yamal will return from his ankle injury against Athletic Club this afternoon, after having been out for the last three weeks. He looks likely to do so from the bench, but Barcelona will have a chance to win their first trophy of the season on Sunday if they beat the Copa del Rey champions.
