“It’s a very happy day for all of Barcelona,” he told ‘El Chiringuito’ , before later urging calm with Lamine, a footballer who has already exploded, but who hasn’t yet turned 18: “We have to help him, as we’ve said, together so that he can become what he is, a tremendous player, but we also have to give him the necessary patience. We’re very happy today.”

Lamine signed his new contract on Tuesday afternoon at a ceremony attended by President Joan Laporta; First Vice President Rafa Yuste ; and the club’s sporting director, Deco, among others.
Records and more than 100 matches
Lamine Yamal’s contract renewal serves to bolster Barcelona’s future project . Since his debut on April 29, 2023 , at the age of 15, he has not stopped growing. He has now accumulated 106 appearances for the first team – in which he has scored 25 goals and provided 34 assists – and an almost endless number of records: from the youngest scorer in the history of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Super Cup , to the youngest to exceed 100 appearances for Barça, among many others.
