Barcelona step up Lamine Yamal contract talks - report

Barcelona are reportedly stepping up contract talks with 15-year-old Lamine Yamal, who is the latest wonderkid to emerge from La Masia.

Yamal is out of contract at the end of the season, and Barca are hoping to tie him up to a first professional contract in July when he turns 16.

Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Barca want to hand Yamal a three-year deal with a significant termination clause to ward off potential admirers.

It seems there are a few clubs circling too, in case there’s any chance of tempting the youngster away from Barcelona, with “the most powerful clubs in Europe” mentioned.
