Lamine Yamal’s salary at Barcelona unveiled — Barca will have to increase it soon

 

After signing a three-year contract back in October last year, Lamine Yamal saw his salary bumped up from €800,000 per year to €1.6 million per year, per Capology.

Thus, Lamine earns a gross salary of €32,000 per week at Barca. When taxes are deducted, Lamine goes home with €15,000 per week playing the beautiful game.

But if we’re to put it in perspective, Nico Williams earns €200,000 per week at Athletic Bilbao. That’s almost 10 times more than Lamine.

It makes it easy to see why bringing Nico to Barca remains complicated. If Barca are to place Nico on the same salary he earns at Bilbao, what happens to Lamine then?

This is one reason why we’ve heard rumours that Lamine’s agents want his contract improved soon. One way or the other Barca would have to oblige them and do the needful.

Lamine’s current deal ends in 2026 but it’ll be foolhardy to wait until it gets to that point before offering him a new deal. Barca claims they rejected a €250m offer for the player, it’s only wise to pay him accordingly to avoid losing him in the future.
