Barcelona reportedly agree a new deal with Spain international Lamine Yamal, who is set to commit his long-term future to the Catalan giants.
Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has reportedly agreed to sign a new long-term deal when he turns 18 next year.
The Catalan giants are keen to secure the long-term futures of their brightest stars, including the midfield duo of Gavi and Pedro.
Gavi is believed to be close to signing a new deal, while Pedri recently revealed that good progress is being made in contract negotiations.
Barcelona are also keen to negotiate a new deal with Yamal despite the fact he only signed his latest deal last year to keep him at the club until June 2026.

As important as a signing
While there has been no suggestion that Yamal would leave Barcelona, the Catalan club will be delighted to secure a long-term future as one of the world’s best players.
Last month, Yamal’s talents were recognised when he was awarded the Kopa Trophy – an award given to the best player under the age of 21.
Yamal picked up the award after he helped Spain win Euro 2024 following a season where he scored seven goals and nine assists in 50 appearances for Barcelona.
The 17-year-old is set to surpass those numbers this season, having already registered six goals and eight assists in 16 competitive matches.
Yamal’s impressive performances have helped Barcelona establish a six-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
