To form the glorious FC Barcelona known and loved today, many stars began their journey at a young age. For the Catalan giants, their famous La Masia youth academy is a fundamental part of what makes up Barca's 'Mes Que Un Club'.
Relying on young players to develop themselves and hone their abilities as much as possible, Barcelona has created a team like no other in history. However, although in recent years it seemed like the Catalan giants had lost touch with their roots, they now appear to be returning to them.
Officially announced by FC Barcelona, ??16-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal has renewed his contract with La Blaugrana. He is now expected to play for the Blaugrana until June 2026, extending his previous contract by two years.
Additionally, the new contract comes with a release clause worth one billion euros, which is quite common at Barcelona at this stage when dealing with their most talented young stars. In Yamal's case, the teenager is a talent that Barca or even European football has not had in recent times.
Although Barcelona has not officially mentioned him, some reports suggest that the youngster will sign an even longer contract extension once he reaches the age of eligibility. Currently, because he is still young, he can only commit to Barça until 2026.
A right winger with a strong ability to change trajectory and balance, his destabilizing ability often confuses defenders. At just 16 years old, he became one of the most dynamic players in Barcelona's first team and also took the Spanish national team by storm.
Becoming the youngest debutant and scorer in the history of the Spanish national team, he made a strong impression by becoming the youngest player to start for Barça this season. While Yamal is just getting started, this La Masia prodigy still has mountains of potential to climb and impress the football world in the future.
