On the aforementioned list, Lamine Yamal is the most recent person to be added.
After making a solid impression during the preseason, the teenager started the regular season as a backup option in Xavi Hernandez’s forward line. After a month has passed, it is arguable that he is one of the most influential players on the club when it comes to the final third.
Barcelona is currently working on extending their contract.
Due to the fact that Yamal’s contract will be up for renewal in the summer of 2019, Barcelona is racing against the clock to lock down the player’s long-term future. After all, the most prestigious people in Europe have taken note of his exceptional performances.
According to the most recent information provided by Fabrizio Romano, the Catalans covertly finished the renewal of the bridge back in July. On Monday, there will be an official signing ceremony for the aforementioned document.
The new terms of Yamal’s contract with the club continue all the way through the summer of 2026. In addition to this, it will impose a massive release clause of one billion euros on the treasure from La Masia.
He possesses maturity that belies his years.
Yamal, who is only 16 years old, has established himself as a regular for Barcelona and is also a member of the Spanish national team. He has accomplished both of these feats despite his youth. In point of fact, the youngster already has a goal to his name for La Roja.
The young man has given no indication that he is struggling to perform at the most difficult level of competition so far. It is quite evident that he will continue to exist, and it is foreseeable that the years to come will bring him a wealth of acclaim.
The young player has played eight times for Barcelona so far this season and has contributed one assist while also creating four significant scoring opportunities. In addition, he completes 1.6 dribbles successfully and 1.2 shoots each game on average.
As things stand, Xavi intends to make prudent use of Yamal’s services in order to protect his health and avoid any setbacks caused by injuries. The club does not want to make the same mistake with another player like they did with Pedri.
