Jorge Mendes arrives in Barcelona to discuss contract details with €180m star – Report | OneFootball

As the 2024/25 season draws to a close, FC Barcelona prepare for their final La Liga fixture against Athletic Bilbao, already having clinched a remarkable domestic treble.

There have been many standout names throughout the season for Barcelona but none bigger than Lamine Yamal. The Spanish teenager has taken his game to the next level and become one of the best players in the world.

Playing on the right wing, Lamine has terrorised opposition defences irrespective of the opposition and has been a brilliant chance creator. In recent times, he has also evolved into a very reliable goalscorer, especially over the last month or so.

Lamine’s numbers at 18

In 54 games across all competitions this season, Lamine has scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists. Two months away from turning 18, the Spaniard has earned a long-term contract renewal with Barcelona and it has been in the works for some time now.

As per Mundo Deportivo, super agent Jorge Mendes has arrived in Barcelona to discuss the club’s contract proposal with his client over lunch. We covered a story earlier about the numbers behind the newly proposed contract for the star right-winger.

Lamine’s current contract at Barcelona runs until 2026 and it does feel like the renewal is a matter of time. The €180m-rated star loves the Catalan club and has come through the ranks and looks set to extend that stay for the foreseeable future.

A mere formality?

Lamine Yamal’s contract extension feels like a formality at this point, one that signals Barcelona’s commitment to building their future around a generational talent. With Jorge Mendes set to finalise terms and the player’s unwavering loyalty to the club, all signs point toward a long-term deal being sealed soon after his 18th birthday.

If his current trajectory continues, Yamal won’t just be among the best in the world, he’ll be leading the next era of Barcelona greatness.
