The young talent Lamine Yamal, aged just 16, has signed a contract with FC Barcelona, as revealed by the media outlet Relevo.
While this contract might seem typical for a young player, it has an interesting twist. It has a maximum duration of three years, binding the player to the club until 2026. However, once he turns 18 in 2025, his contract will be renegotiated, including his salary.
Currently, Lamine Yamal’s salary is €3 million per year, an exceptional sum for a player of his age. This remuneration could quickly increase once he reaches adulthood.
Moreover, the contract includes an impressive €1 billion release clause. This hefty amount is expected to deter major clubs interested in the player for some time.
As a result, the young prodigy remains firmly rooted in FC Barcelona, which is excellent news for the club, its fans, and its leaders, including Xavi and Joan Laporta.
