Lamine Yamal makes surprising request to Barcelona after winning Euro

This makes Lamine Yamal a "hot" face after Euro 2024. Barcelona must immediately worry about keeping this player. Taking that opportunity, Lamine Yamal's representative, super agent Jorge Mendes, asked Barcelona to increase his client's salary.

According to Diario Sport, Los Blaugrana have plans to increase Lamine Yamal's salary in the summer of 2026, when his contract expires. At that time, Barcelona will extend his contract until 2030.

What the Camp Nou club could not have expected was that Lamine Yamal would shine brightly at Euro 2024. According to Diario Sport, Barcelona had no choice but to meet the 17-year-old prodigy's salary increase request, despite the club's financial difficulties.

Lamine Yamal is being "structured" to become the new representative face of Barcelona, both in the sports and commercial fields. Therefore, Los Blaugrana are forced to increase the salary to keep the person, avoiding losing Lamnie Yamal too soon.

Super agent Jorge Mendes and Barcelona President Joan Laporta have a close relationship. Jorge Mendes has represented many players at La Masia, including Alejandro Balde. Therefore, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Lamine Yamal's release clause is now 1 billion euros. This is a figure commonly found in the contracts of many players playing in Spain.

The 17-year-old's salary remains a mystery at this point. According to Capology, he is on around £27,000 a week, less than 5% of Frankie De Jong's £600,000 a week. It is unclear how much Barcelona will increase Lamnie Yamal's salary.
