Jorge Mendes, Lamine Yamal’s agent, attended the Tuttosport Golden Boy gala on Monday and left a very clear message about the Barcelona gem. The Portuguese assured that his client, who has a contract until 30 June 2026, will renew his contract with the Catalan giants beyond his current deal.
Absolute calm in the Barcelona camp. Jorge Mendes, Lamine Yamal’s agent, made it very clear at the Golden Boy gala in Italy that the young Barca player will remain at the club beyond 30 June 2026, the date on which his contract expires.
“Of course he will renew with Barca, Lamine is a Barca player and he will renew the new contract,” he told reporters. According to the latest reports in the Catalan press, the striker, who signed his first professional contract on 2 October 2023, will return to the club’s offices once he reaches the legal age for an extension until 2030.
This is great news for the Azulgrana team and for the player, who is in the midst of recovering from an ankle injury following Neyou’s blow in the defeat against Leganes. The Azulgrana gem, who will be out for around a month, will do everything he can to make it to the Spanish Super Cup. “He’s going to recover quickly,” Mendes said of the new Golden Boy winner.
The man voted best agent of 2024 by ‘Tuttosport’ ended his speech to the media with this message: “The important thing is the daily work, motivation and determination that you must have in any activity to always be motivated to do your best every day and that’s what I try to do”.
