It’s only a matter of time before Lamine Yamal’s contract renewal with Barcelona is officially announced, raising many questions about his salary with the Catalan club.
Yamal has made it clear that he wants to continue with Barcelona and make history at Camp Nou, regardless of the temptations surrounding him and despite the rumored legendary offer from Paris Saint-Germain.
The 17-year-old will turn 18 in July, when he will sign his first professional contract with a hefty salary.
How much is Lamine Yamal’s salary with Barcelona?
According to Sport, Yamal’s camp has demanded that the player be among Barcelona’s highest-paid players, no matter the cost.
Robert Lewandowski remains Barcelona’s highest-paid player, earning €26 million. He is among three players in the top salary bracket, along with Frenkie de Jong and Marc-André ter Stegen.
Barcelona’s management does not intend to grant Yamal a first-class salary for two reasons: the economic situation, and the fear of breaching the salary scale and causing a new economic crisis in the coming years.
Barcelona’s historic decision to make Yamal the “new Messi”
According to recent reports, Lamine Yamal’s salary with Barcelona will be €8 million after tax, meaning a total of €16 million.
The new contract will provide Yamal with numerous benefits, such as large bonuses based on individual and collective success.
Barcelona and Yamal both believe he can bring significant economic benefits to the club, especially with him wearing the number 10 shirt next season and the overwhelming popularity he has enjoyed over the past year.
