Teenager Yamal To Become One Of Barca's 'Big Earners'

Teenager Yamal To Become One Of Barca's 'Big Earners'

Teenager Lamine Yamal is reportedly set to become one of the highest-paid players at FC Barcelona.

The 17-year-old has established himself as a key player for both Barcelona and Spain over the last year with some impressive displays, which also saw him finish top ten of the Ballon d'Or ranking.

Yamal is currently under contract with the Catalan giants until 2026, but the club do plan to offer him a new five-year deal when he turns 18 in July.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona see Yamal as cornerstone for the club and are prepared to offer a deal that matches his importance to the team.

The report adds that the winger's camp feels that his performances should see him fall in the same wage bracket as Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, a sentiment which the club agrees with.

The only hiccup surrounding the contract would be the club's wage bill as at the moment, they will have not space for the Spanish winger's new contract.

Although, the Spanish giants are confident they can sort out that issue in the off-season, which also allow the club bring in new players and negotiate other player contracts.

Earlier this year, the 17-year-old did reveal that he has every intention of signing the new contract.

"I don't know when [the contract will be signed], but I believe it'll be soon," he said in an interview with CNN.

"In the end, Barca is the club of my life. I hope to renew my contract with them, and to be with them as long as possible.

"I want to play in the Spanish league. I want to play for Barca, and yes, I will renew my contract. I will."
