Wednesday, May 28, 2025 - Lamine Yamal has signed a new long-term contract with Barcelona until 2031, the Spanish champions announced on Tuesday, May 27.
Yamal's previous deal was due to expire in 2026 and the
Catalan club decided to tie him down to longer terms as a priority this summer.
Here’s the club’s official statement:
“FC
Barcelona and Lamine Yamal have reached an agreement for the renewal of his
contract which will now tie him to the Club until 30 June 2031.
“The player
signed his new contract on Tuesday at the Club’s offices in the presence of FC
Barcelona president Joan Laporta, first vice president Rafa Yusta, and the
Club’s sporting director Anderson Luis de Souza “Deco”, amongst others.
“A contract
extension for Lamine Yamal is another demonstration of the solidity of the
current Barça project. The Barça forward made his debut for the first team on
29 April 2023, at the age of just 15 and since then the lad from Mataró near
Barcelona has exploded onto the stage that is world football with performances
that are already part of FC Barcelona history.”
Yamal is also set to be handed a pay rise, and will
also take over the No. 10 shirt from Ansu Fati, with the hope to add more
trophies to his collection after bagging the double this season.
Yamal made his first team debut as a 15-year-old in 2023 and
has quickly emerged as one of the best players in the world,
helping Spain win the European Championship last summer and playing a
key role as Barça won a domestic treble this season
In 55 appearances this term, he scored 18 goals and
registered 25 assists, while delivering standout performances in some of
Barça's biggest games, including the Champions League semifinal
against Inter Milan and the LaLiga-defining Clásico against Real
Madrid.
