Lamine Yamal extends his contract with Barcelona until 2031.
The 17-year-old forward played a key role in Barcelona's domestic treble.
Yamal scored 18 goals and registered 25 assists last season.

Barcelona's rising star, Lamine Yamal, has officially signed a new six-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2031, following a successful season where he helped the team secure a domestic treble. The contract extension comes as Yamal's previous agreement was set to expire in 2026, according to Channel News Asia and BBC.

During the recent season, Yamal was instrumental, contributing 18 goals and 25 assists in 55 matches, which notably included victories in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. His outstanding performances have drawn comparisons to club legends, bringing attention to his potential as a future star, according to Africa News and Al Jazeera.

Yamal debuted for Barcelona at just 15 years old, having progressed through the club’s renowned La Masia academy since age seven. In just over two years, he has already scored 25 goals in 115 matches, setting records as the youngest scorer in the history of several competitions, according to Channel News Asia and Africa News.
