<p>The talented teenager, who has continued to<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/record-breaker-barcelona-lamine-yamal-spain-player-debut-georgia/blt9dee093600f8898f" target="_blank"> rewrite the record books</a> at Camp Nou and with the Spain national team, has committed to fresh terms through to 2026. Barca have moved to ensure that they will remain the ones to benefit from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-vs-sevilla-lamine-yamal/blt27bc266e9d7ebecb" target="_blank">Yamal’s undoubted potential.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Barca have said on the club’s <a href="https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/barca-b/news/3714997/lamine-yamal-extends-contract-to-2026 " target="_blank"><em>official website</em></a>: “Lamine Yamal has whizzed up through the youth ranks and is regarded as one of the hottest properties to come out of La Masia in recent years. He was just 15 years, 9 months and 16 days old when he made his league debut against Betis on 29 April 2023, making him the youngest player ever to appear in a competitive fixture for the team. Xavi Hernandez has gradually been using his services more and more, and after joining the squad for its preseason tour, he become the youngest ever starter for FC Barcelona in a game against Cadiz this season, and against Royal Antwerp he became the second youngest player ever to appear in the competition. And despite his youth, he has already won his first international cap for Spain. In a game against Georgia he not only became the youngest player ever to play for 'La Roja', but also the youngest ever goalscorer.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="in" dir="ltr">𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 <a href="https://t.co/9LUn7qcH9k">pic.twitter.com/9LUn7qcH9k</a></p>— FC Barcelona - Masia (@FCBmasia) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBmasia/status/1708817947865543008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 2, 2023</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yamal is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/like-leo-wonderkind-lamine-yamal-one-on-one-compared-messi-barcelona-xavi/blt1ccc73142fa0d3b6" target="_blank">following in some illustrious footsteps</a> after stepping out of the famed La Masia academy system – with fellow graduates including Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Carles Puyol and Pep Guardiola.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barca have made a habit of tying hot prospects to deals with mammoth release clauses – having had their fingers burned when Paris Saint-Germain triggered a €222m (£192m/$234m) option on Neymar’s contract back in 2017 – with similar terms having been thrashed out with the likes of Ansu Faiti, Pedri and Gavi.</p>
