The 17-year-old talent Lamine Yamal is one of the main stars of Catalonia's Barcelona. It's no surprise that the club wants to keep him, but so far, there are difficulties.
Details: According to Diario Sport, Barcelona and Yamal's agent Jorge Mendes still have no agreement on the new contract that the club wants to sign. Barcelona is ready to meet most of Mendes' demands, but fears a situation similar to the previous one with Lionel Messi, which led the club into financial difficulties.
A solution to the situation may come in the summer, but Barcelona will have to make some adjustments, as Robert Lewandowski, the current salary leader, earns about 33 million euros a year. Yamal's current annual salary of 2 million euros, including bonuses, could be increased 15 times, and Lewandowski will also reduce his salary as part of a pre-agreed deal with the club.
Reminder: Earlier, Mendes stated that Lamine will definitely sign a new contract with Barcelona.
