Yamal receives the highest salary in the new contract signed with Barcelona. |
In the context of Barcelona having to adjust its salary budget to suit the difficult financial situation, the contract extension with Lamine Yamal has made many people question the ability to maintain a sustainable player treatment policy.
However, President Joan Laporta insisted that Yamal's salary reflects his importance to the team, despite his young age. "His salary must be commensurate with his role, and he must be given special treatment, regardless of his age. This is an exceptional case that goes beyond the norm," he said.
The new contract, which runs until June 2031, puts Yamal at the top of Barca's compensation package. According to Marca , no one in the squad has surpassed Yamal in terms of income. Currently, only Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong earn more than Yamal, but both are exceptional cases.
Lewandowski will take a pay cut next season, while De Jong is still under contract under Josep Maria Bartomeu with bonuses and payments from the pandemic. When De Jong renews, his salary will also be lower than Yamal's.
Yamal is expected to pocket around €8m a year, but with bonuses it could rise to €15m, which equates to around €30m before tax. He has big bonuses for every 15 appearances (around €2m), and a bonus of up to €5m if he wins the Ballon d'Or.
In the future, when his contract expires and he is only 23 years old, Yamal's salary will likely increase based on maintaining bonuses, similar to the way Barca applied with Messi. Successfully retaining Yamal with a high salary and attractive benefits is an important step for Barca to build a future around this young star.
