Barcelona Secures Yamal with New 6-Year Contract
Barcelona has locked down one of their brightest stars for the future as teenage sensation Lamine Yamal signs a new six-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2031. Even though he doesn’t turn 18 until July, Yamal has already made a massive impact since breaking into the first team as a 15-year-old in April 2023. His rise has been nothing short of incredible, quickly becoming a key figure in Barcelona’s recent success.

Teen Prodigy with Historic Achievements
In just over a year, Yamal has played a crucial role in helping the Catalan giants secure a domestic treble winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. He was also instrumental in pushing the team to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, showcasing his ability to compete at the highest level despite his age. The young forward’s record-breaking journey started early when he joined the Barcelona academy at just seven years old. Since then, he has shattered numerous records, including becoming the youngest player in club history to reach 100 appearances.
Goals, Assists, and Milestones Galore
With 25 goals to his name already, Yamal has shown he’s not just about breaking records he’s about delivering results. He holds the distinction of being the youngest goalscorer in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. His influence hasn’t been limited to club football either. Last summer, Yamal made history with Spain by becoming the youngest player to both appear in and score at a European Championship. He then played a crucial role in Spain’s title-winning run, scoring a stunning goal in the tournament and topping the assist charts with four.
Award-Winning Future Ahead
As if all that wasn’t enough, his performances earned him the prestigious Kopa Trophy at the Ballon d’Or awards, recognizing him as the best under-21 player in the world. With a new long-term contract in place, Barcelona is clearly betting big on Yamal’s continued growth — and if his record so far is anything to go by, that bet looks very safe.
