There are extraordinary reports from Spain suggesting Liverpool might be able to sign teenage sensation Lamine Yamal amid claims LaLiga giants could be forced to cash in.

Lamine Yamal is expected to sign a new contract with FC Barcelona on his 18th birthday, extending until 2030. However, due to ongoing registration problems related to Dani Olmo, FC Liverpool is preparing for the possibility that the contract extension might not go through and is closely monitoring the situation.

Lamine Yamal's agent, Jorge Mendes, has been contacted by Liverpool to enquire about the availability of the teenager. Liverpool is one of the clubs 'putting the most pressure on' Mendes for a possible deal.

Lamine Yamal has been associated with a potential transfer to Premier League powerhouse Liverpool, amid suggestions that Barcelona might contemplate selling the 17-year-old prodigy due to financial challenges. Miguel Delaney of The Independent has reported that Liverpool is preparing for a move despite Barcelona's president having previously turned down a €250 million offer. Yamal's contract includes a €1 billion release clause. However, any transfer would only be feasible next July when Yamal reaches the age of 18. On the Spanish television show El Hormiguero, Yamal conveyed his desire to remain at Barcelona and aspire to become a legend there.
