Yamal's camp may revisit contract talks in 2025 despite principle agreement
Lamine Yamal has become a pivotal player for Barcelona at just 17 years old, playing a crucial role in the team. While he has a principle agreement with the Catalan club, there is a potential complication.
Details: According to Sport.es, Yamal and Barcelona have reached a principle agreement to extend his contract. However, his representatives may revisit the deal next year to improve their position.
Yamal currently has a club-friendly contract in place, valid until 2026. However, once he reaches adulthood, the situation could be reassessed. His agent, Jorge Mendes, is pushing for a new deal for the young talent, which could lead to negotiations in February or March.
This season, Yamal has contributed 6 goals and 12 assists in 21 matches across all competitions.
Reminder: Yamal is currently sidelined due to injury. Barcelona has developed a recovery plan aimed at getting him back into the squad by January 8, in time for the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Athletic Bilbao.
