Lamine Yamal the talent of La Masia, renews with the club that made him famous until 2026, with a release clause of €1 Billion.

He became the first player to be part of La Liga in a match against Betis when he was only 15 years and 290 days old. He was also the youngest starter at 16 years and 38 days old when debuted against Cadiz on 20 August on a Sunday.
Yamal is also the youngest player who debuted for Spain when he scored against Georgia in a 7-1 victory at 16 years and 57 days.
He is one of the most promising wingers, cutting inside with his left and being one of the most precious jams of Xavi’s formations. He can play in both wings and can be positioned between the lines, leaving the fullbacks behind the shoulders and in front of the centrebacks.
He can advance on his left side or play on the right depending on the needs that Xavi has and his team has.
Lamal can contribute to the defensive aspect of the team, pressuring and turning back to the defensive positions.
His contribution has helped Barca hold constant performances and maintain a certain rhythm in La Liga.
