According to Mundo Deportivo, exciting details have emerged regarding the terms of Lamine Yamal’s new contract with the Catalan giants. Barcelona confirmed a six-year extension for the young forward, securing his services until 2031.
As part of the new deal, the club retained the €1 billion release clause in Yamal’s contract — a clear message of intent to ward off potential suitors. Additionally, a new clause was included that guarantees Yamal a significant financial bonus if he wins the Ballon d’Or.
The report also highlighted Yamal’s involvement in football-related discussions with the club’s new manager, Hansi Flick. The youngster reportedly requested to be included in free-kick and penalty duties, indicating his ambition to take on more responsibility on the pitch.
Furthermore, Yamal is said to have requested not to be substituted in the final minutes of matches, arguing that defenders are typically at their weakest physically during that stage — giving him a better chance to score or create decisive opportunities.
