Barcelona’s director Deco has confirmed the club’s intention to extend the contract of attacker Lamine Yamal as soon as he reaches the age of 18. In a statement to Esport3, Deco emphasized the club’s commitment to the young talent, noting that they had already made significant efforts to secure his services last summer.
Lamine Yamal, who currently plays for Barcelona in La Liga, is set to continue his professional journey with the Spanish giants. Despite his youth, Yamal has already made an impression, and Barcelona is keen to solidify his place in the team for the foreseeable future.
Deco’s announcement indicates that Yamal, who holds Spanish nationality, has three more years remaining on his existing contract. The proactive move by Barcelona to extend his contract underscores their belief in his potential and their desire to ensure his development continues at Camp Nou.
