Barcelona’s teenage phenomenon Lamine Yamal has signed a new contract until 2031.
The forward, who does not turn 18 until July, made his debut in April 2023 aged just 15 but has already become an integral part of the club’s success.
He helped Barca to the LaLiga, Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey treble and was a driving force in their journey to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Yamal, who joined the club’s academy aged seven, has already made 106 appearances – becoming the club’s youngest player to reach a century of games.

He has scored 25 goals, while also becoming the youngest goalscorer in all three domestic competitions.
With Spain last summer, he became the youngest player to appear and score at a European Championship before their victory in the final, the day after his 17th birthday, made him the youngest winner of a major international tournament.
He topped the assist rankings with four, scored the goal of the tournament and went on to win the Kopa Trophy for best under-21 player at the Ballon d’Or awards.
