Manchester City and Liverpool could soon find themselves in a fierce competition for one of the brightest young stars in football, Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
Having made his debut for Barcelona’s first team at just 15, Yamal, now 17, is already regarded as one of the most promising players in the world.
While Barcelona continues to benefit from his talents, there are growing concerns that his time at the club may not last as long as expected.
Although Yamal is contracted to Barcelona until 2026, financial issues at the club are complicating efforts to offer him a new deal when he turns 18 in July. Plans to extend his contract for five years may face delays due to these financial constraints.
With Barcelona potentially struggling to secure Yamal’s future, both Manchester City and Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation.
If Barcelona is unable to renew his contract, there could be an opportunity for one of the Premier League giants to make a move next summer.
Despite their financial difficulties, Barcelona remains optimistic that they can free up the necessary salary space to finalize Yamal’s new contract by the summer.
For now, it seems unlikely that the young star will be leaving Barcelona anytime soon, making him an ideal target for any top European club.
