Lamine Yamal has a contract signed with Barça until 2026. He agreed to it in 2023, when he was still 16 years old and could not sign for longer. This will change soon or, at least, this is what Jota Jordi , a collaborator on El Chiringuito, says. Last program, he discovered that "everything is agreed and ready" for the culer talent to sign a new deal for six more years.
"We're going to have Lamine Yamal at Barça for many years. There's a rule that players can't sign long contracts until they're 18, I think they're three-year contracts," Jota Jordi began by saying.
In this regard, Jota Jordi added: "(...) by the time he turns 18, everything will be agreed and he'll be ready to sign a six-year contract, with a release clause of one billion euros. Lamine Yamal, whose contract ends in 2026, will be a Barça player for at least six years after turning 18."
Lamine Yamal Rejects PSG: Neither for Free nor for a Fee; He Will Stay at Barça
Nasser Al-Khelaifi's aim was to wait until the end of Lamine Yamal's contract with Barça until 2026 and take him for free. The player would then be 19 years old.
But to do so, he would have had to get the player to reject all the offers of contract improvement that Laporta proposed to him. The opposite has happened, or this is what Jota Jordi has assured, indicating that Lamine Yamal will be at Barça for a long time.
Jota Jordi is Clear: Lamine Yamal is Better than...
Speaking about Lamine Yamal a few weeks ago and everything he's achieved despite being only 17 years old, Jota Jordi took the opportunity to put him above Messi. The El Chiringuito contributor made this very clear, pointing out that, at his age, the young Spaniard has surpassed the legend's records.
"Should I give you the figures at the same age? Lamine Yamal has already done the same thing as Messi. The only difference is that, at the same age, Messi had played one game for Barça," began Jota Jordi.
Far from stopping there, he continued: "0 goals and 0 assists. Lamine Yamal has 67 games, 13 goals, 25 assists, won the Euro Cup and is the leader and star of this team."
Concluding his speech, leaving his colleagues on the program surprised, Jota Jordi concluded: "I think Lamine Yamal is going to be better than Messi. The numbers prove me right: When he is 35..."
We don't know if he will be better or worse than Messi. The truth is that it seems that Lamine Yamal has everything done to continue for many years at Barça.
