Lamine Yamal, who has recently won the Golden Boy 2024 award, has been clear about his future amidst interest from Manchester City. He stated, 'No, the truth is I don't think about it. I only think about Barça, improving and winning titles here.' His agent, Jorge Mendes, confirmed that Yamal would extend his contract with Barcelona, which currently ends in June 2026.

Manchester City attempted to sign Lamine Yamal from Barcelona during the summer. An emissary from the English champions tried to persuade Yamal to sign a contract immediately. However, Yamal immediately responded that he did not intend to leave Barcelona and wanted to make history at Camp Nou.
