Lamine Yamal’s agent, Jorge Mendes, assured reporters on Thursday that the young FC Barcelona winger will be renewing his contract with the club “very soon.” Yamal’s current deal runs until June 30, 2026, but according to the well-known Portuguese agent, there’s no reason for concern. “Of course he’s going to renew, of course. There won’t be any issues. He’s happy here — don’t worry, it’ll be done soon,” Mendes told the press.

Meeting in Barcelona

Mendes made his comments after leaving La Bonaigua, a restaurant near Barça’s Joan Gamper Training Center, where Yamal had trained earlier that day. The agent had lunch with the player, who left quietly without making any public statements. The meeting further reinforced the message that both parties are on the same page about Yamal’s future.

Mendes didn’t hold back his praise for Yamal, expressing not just optimism about the contract extension but also belief in the player’s future stardom. “Lamine is going to be the best player in the world — and he’ll win the Ballon d’Or,” Mendes said confidently, showing his faith in the rising star born in Mataró, who turns 18 on July 13.

A key piece for Barça’s future

His renewal is a top priority for the club’s sporting department, which sees him as a cornerstone of their long-term project.
