Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old prodigy from FC Barcelona, is seeking a salary that matches his exceptional talent following an outstanding season (54 matches, 18 goals).
While PSG has shown interest in his performances, as confirmed by Barcelona’s sporting director Deco, no deal has been finalized, and the Catalan club is facing significant financial challenges.
Deco addressed the ongoing contract negotiations, stating, “The renewal of Lamine’s contract is on the right track; he deserves a fair deal. It’s not important for him to be the highest paid, and he hasn’t asked for that. He just wants to be happy here, and his agents have said the same. If we renew him, it will be the best signing of recent years.”
PSG Inquiries Confirmed
While Barcelona is eager to keep Yamal, PSG has shown interest. Deco explained, “Last season, some clubs asked about Lamine. This season, no. He’s a player wanted worldwide, but we want him to stay, be happy, and enjoy playing here. We haven’t received any offers because when you don’t want to listen… PSG has asked about him, but Madrid has not. We don’t ask them anything either.”
In conclusion, while Barcelona wants to retain Yamal, discussions around his renewal could become complicated due to financial constraints and the interest from major clubs like PSG.
