Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal has committed his future to the club after signing a new long-term contract with the Spanish giants.

The 17-year-old had one year left on his initial contract and his contract was set to expire at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Yamal has now further extended his stay at the club after putting pen to paper on a six-year contract, which sees him remain at the club until 2031.

The Spanish attacker has since scored 25 goals and registered 34 assists in 106 appearances across all competitions since making his debut at the age of 15 during the 2022-23 season.

Yamal has already won five trophies in his career, including the UEFA European Championship with Spain, two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and one Supercopa de España.

“FC Barcelona and Lamine Yamal have reached an agreement for the renewal of his contract which will now tie him to the Club until 30 June 2031,” Barca said in a statement.

“The player signed his new contract on Tuesday at the Club’s offices in the presence of FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta, first vice president Rafa Yusta, and the Club’s sporting director Anderson Luis de Souza “Deco”, amongst others.

“A contract extension for Lamine Yamal is another demonstration of the solidity of the current Barça project.

“The Barça forward made his debut for the first team on 29 April 2023, at the age of just 15 and since then the lad from Mataró near Barcelona has exploded on to the stage that is world football with performances that are already part of FC Barcelona history.”
