Lamine Yamal is not for sale!

Lamine Yamal soared into orbit last season. He shined in Barcelona’s first team, carried that form into the national squad, and helped Spain claim the European crown. Despite being only 17 and a half years old, Yamal is already a global football star.Barca’s thing: World-class striker, fiery Brazilian, and La Masia childBarcelona knew exactly what kind of gem they had in La Masia, so they locked him down with a 1 billion euros release clause. That’s nothing unusual for Barça when signing contracts with their young talents. However, since he is still a minor, the contract is much shorter than the club would prefer. His current deal, signed in October 2023, runs until July 2026. Both the club and young forward’s camp want a longer extension, ideally until the summer of 2030.🚨🎖| Lamine Yamal is currently among the LOWEST paid players in the squad. His salary is at the minimum level for first-team players, meaning he earns more from bonuses than from his base salary.

Alongside the usual suitors like Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Liverpool, an even more shocking name has emerged—Real Madrid.A move to Barcelona’s biggest rival would be one of the most dramatic transfers in football history, possibly even bigger than when Luis Figo swapped Camp Nou for the Santiago Bernabeu. Still, it would take a miracle for the rumors, mainly fueled by Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo, to become reality. This is evident from Yamal’s own words when asked about playing for Real Madrid: “Impossible! Real? No…”🚨| JUST IN: Real Madrid constantly ask agent Jorge Mendes about Lamine Yamal.“Take him out of your heads,” has always been his reply.Meanwhile PSG think they can convince Lamine Yamal with a massive amount of money.— @mundodeportivo 🥇 pic.twitter.com/9lOeTpHyNT— forblaugrana (@forblaugrana) February 24, 2025 A fresh report from Spain further supports the idea that Yamal will stay at Barcelona for another five years. Club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco have already scheduled a new meeting with his agent, the famous Jorge Mendes, to discuss a long-term extension.The next round of talks is expected to take place in Lisbon—just as they did a month ago when Barcelona defeated Benfica 5-4 in a Champions League thriller. With another Champions League showdown on March 11 in the Round of 16, Barcelona will use the opportunity to sit down and negotiate once again.In the nick of time – Barca register Olmo!However, no new deal can officially be signed before July 13, when Yamal turns 18. Theoretically, until then, he could still be poached by another club. The “Olmo case” has already shown that Barcelona’s financial struggles remain very real.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 25Friday Celta – Osasuna 1-0 (0-0)/Aspas 69 pen/SaturdayAlaves – Espanyol 0-1 (0-0)/Calero 86/Rayo Vallecano – Villarreal 0-1 (0-0)/Perez 66/Valencia – Atl.
