Departure is not on the agenda. And it may not be. In an interview with the Spanish television channel Antena 3, Lamine Yamal expressed his desire to spend his entire career at FC Barcelona, his training team. “I hope I never leave Barça, I want to be a Barça legend,” assured the 17-year-old, who went to another level after his fantastic Euro.
His contract situation supports his ambitions: linked with the Blaugranas until 2026, he will see his contract extend until 2030 when he turns 18, on July 13, 2025. With the release comment of one euro, i.e. more than four times the value of Neymar. transfer to Paris (222 million thirteen), still the highest compensation in the history of football. PSG, interested in the extraordinary talents of Lamine Yamal, decided anyway.
The hero of La Roja, the European champion this summer, author of a sensational goal against France in the semi-final (2-1), he did not seem to be disturbed by his change of position. “At Barça they teach you many things and they prepare me for that. I also learned a lot in my environment, with my grandmother, my parents, my friends…” Originally from Rocafonda, a working community in the suburbs of Barcelona, the young winger always respects his origins by celebrating your goals by miming with your fingers the number 304, your local zip code.
He also returned to his goal against France. “Did I celebrate before the ball went into the goal? When you shoot like that, high, your body is already celebrating, you smile. I also tried against Italy, but I turned and it didn’t scored… I always try to put the ball there ».
