FC Barcelona closed the renewal of Lamine Yamal this Tuesday. What is, without a doubt, the best news of the summer transfer window for the 'Azulgranas', did not take too long to arrive. Joan Laporta and Jorge Mendes had everything ready after their 'summit' on Monday and the president went from early hours to the club's headquarters for the signing of the new contract of the 'jewel' of the 'Culés'.
Foreseeing an inevitable wave of market rumors from now until the winger turns the age of majority on July 13, Barça seals the extension of his contract until June 2031, just before Lamine goes on vacation. Thus, the club and the player leave everything ready for the next season, where the player from Mataró will wear the number '10' on his shirt.
Yamal, yes, will have to play the 'final four' of the Nations League with Spain next week in Germany, before leaving for about a month of rest. The youth player, in his second season, played a total of 55 matches (4,553 minutes) in which he added 18 goals and 23 assists that confirm his status as the best footballer in the world today.

Barça secures Lamine Yamal with a contract worthy of a world star
Therefore, Barça has not hesitated to update his contract with benefits to a footballer of his hierarchy, who is called to be the leader and reference of the 'Azulgrana' sports project in the next decade. The winger will maintain a termination clause of 1,000 million euros, with an ascending salary and bonuses that will progressively make him the highest paid player in the squad.
In the coming days, the club will filter more details about Lamine's gross salary from 25/26. Now, the board can process with greater tranquility the rest of pending renewals (Szczesny, De Jong, Eric García...), already with the certainty of returning in time to rule 1:1 to be able to update the files of their players before the closing of the 24/25 financial year, this once the mess of the VIP boxes is resolved.
In this way, Barça secures its main star until 2031 and continues to strengthen the future of the squad with which Hansi Flick has managed to lift the national treble in 24/25. Lamine's renewal will be legal, for all purposes, in July when the winger celebrates his 18th birthday.
