Barcelona ready to make 17-year-old sensation the club’s top earner with contract laced in greatness incentives — full story unfolds here.
Barcelona are set to hand Lamine Yamal a sensational new long-term contract that includes a Ballon d’Or bonus clause, confirming the club’s unwavering belief in the prodigy’s path to global stardom. According to trusted journalist Toni Juanmartí, the deal, to be finalized after Yamal turns 18 on July 13, will make him potentially the highest-paid player in the squad, overtaking even veterans like Lewandowski and De Jong — if performance-based goals are achieved.
Despite his age, Yamal has become a cornerstone under Hansi Flick, dazzling fans with maturity, technique, and vision well beyond his years. The new contract reflects this meteoric rise:
Base salary remains aligned with youth policy,
Hefty bonuses tied to performance, trophies, and individual accolades,
A standout clause linked to winning the Ballon d’Or — a rarity for players this young.
Barcelona see the teenager as the face of their future, and this agreement is more than retention — it’s a declaration of intent to build around him for the next decade.
Yamal’s renewal also removes him from the list of Barça’s lowest-paid players, further cementing his elite status. The Blaugrana are crafting a legacy with him at its core — a potential heir to Messi, driven not only by talent but ambition etched in
contract ink.
