The newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” exploded a heavy-caliber surprise by revealing Real Madrid’s great interest in signing Lamine Yamal.
Yamal’s current contract with Barcelona ends in the summer of 2026, and the player was the focus of interest of many clubs, and surprisingly, Real Madrid was at the top of the list.
According to the report, the Royal Club officials contacted Yamal’s agent, Jorge Mendes, more than once to discuss a possible transfer of the young Spaniard to Santiago Bernabeu.
The low salary that Yamal receives at Barcelona is one of the reasons for Real Madrid’s optimism about the possibility of convincing him to wear the white shirt, as the 17-year-old receives only 32 thousand euros per week.
Despite this and the Madrid temptation, Mendes clearly informed Real Madrid officials “get the idea out of your heads” and assured them that Yamal only intends to continue with Barcelona.
The player has previously expressed his desire to write a special history with Barça and follow in Messi’s footsteps, and it seems that these are not just words to attract fans, but the truth.
At the same time, there is an agreement between Barcelona and Yamal to renew, and in the new contract the player will receive a huge financial increase, through which he will be guaranteed to continue until 2030.
The new contract is scheduled to be signed as soon as Yamal turns 18, specifically next July.
