Fans have to pay to get Yamal's autograph

Young star Lamine Yamal has decided to temporarily stop signing autographs for fans while considering commercializing his signature.

Yamal makes money from his own signature.

According to Mundo Deportivo , Yamal is willing to pose for pictures with fans, but signing autographs is gradually being limited. This is recommended by the player's manager in preparation for a commercial deal, where items such as jerseys, shoes and other products with Yamal's signature will be distributed through a website specializing in selling memorabilia of global sports stars.

The higher the scarcity of the signature, the higher the value of the product. Barcelona also fully supports this decision, and is negotiating with Yamal to provide a fixed number of signatures for official commitments with the club.

The commercialization of athlete signatures is popular in the US market, especially with NBA stars like LeBron James. Barcelona saw this as a reasonable opportunity to exploit the Yamal phenomenon while honoring the young player, who has been with the club since the age of 12.

Yamal has now become the face of many big brands such as Adidas, Beats, Powerade, Oppo, Konami and Nesquik, and is also a UNICEF ambassador. The player's name has spread strongly, beyond the framework of the football field.

It is understandable that Yamal is in the top 10 highest-earning players in the world in 2025. According to Forbes , the 18-year-old striker earned up to 43 million USD last year. This shows the commercial appeal and huge development potential of the young Spanish talent.

Yamal's ugly action Striker Lamine Yamal made many fans unhappy when he threw his training shirt straight onto the field instead of giving it to Barcelona's assistant, in the match against PSG in the Champions League on October 2.
