Joan Laporta

Barcelona fans can breathe a little easier — club president Joan Laporta has confirmed that a new contract with teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has already been agreed in principle.

“The renewal is already agreed. Only the official signing remains,” Laporta told reporters, reassuring supporters concerned about the future of one of the club’s brightest stars.

The Importance of 13 July

So why the wait? Under FIFA regulations, players under 18 cannot sign long-term professional contracts. Lamine Yamal turns 18 on 13 July — a date that has taken on added importance for Barça’s sporting project.

Until then, Barcelona remain legally vulnerable to offers or approaches from rival clubs, who may attempt to lure the young forward away. However, both Laporta and Yamal have expressed full commitment to staying at Camp Nou.

The Future Face of Barça

Yamal has already made a major impact this season, helping Barcelona win La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. Despite his age, he has emerged as a leader on the pitch and a symbol of the club’s future.

Securing his long-term commitment will not only protect a valuable asset — it will signal to Europe that Barcelona are building around their next homegrown icon.
