Lamine Yamal Demands Highest Salary in the Squad: Financial Headache for Barcelona FC ?
Lamine Yamal (17, 54 matches, 18 goals) wants to be paid according to his talent, and Barcelona may face a tough challenge in keeping him. With his contract running until 2026, the Barça prodigy is demanding a salary higher than that of other stars in the squad. According to Cadena Ser, the club is willing to listen, but its delicate financial situation may complicate matters.
A Financial Dilemma for Barcelona
While president Laporta has confirmed that everything is in place and only “the player’s signature is missing,” things are more complicated behind the scenes.
Barcelona wants to move Yamal into the top salary tier, but this could mean reducing the wages of players like Lewandowski, ter Stegen, or de Jong. If these players refuse to accept cuts, the club will have to decide whether to meet Yamal’s demands or risk exceeding their salary cap.
A tricky situation lies ahead for the management, especially as they are already restricted in terms of salary cap limits.
