“Barcelona” controversy due to Yamal: 17-year-old footballer's salary at the center of debate
The prestigious Spanish publication El Nacional has shared interesting information about the internal situation at the "Barcelona" club. According to it, the recent discontent within the club revolves around the 17-year-old talent — Lamin Yamal.

Turning 18 in the summer — a new contract is expected

It is known that as soon as Lamin Yamal turns 18, a new professional contract is planned to be signed with him. For now, he is playing under an agreement intended for youth players and earns 3 million euros per year.

However, after the new deal, Yamal could become the highest-paid player in the club. The source notes that his future salary is expected to be around 35–40 million euros per year.

Discontent in the team — is the balance being disrupted?

Yamal receiving such a high salary is being criticized by several players in the club. In particular, the experienced members of the team who have been playing in the starting lineup for years are expressing concerns about the disruption of the salary balance through this decision.

They believe that granting such a significant financial privilege to a player who is just turning 18 could negatively impact the internal order at "Barca".

Interestingly, this salary will be higher than that of the team's current highest-paid player, Robert Lewandowski. This is also causing various discussions regarding equality and reputation among the players.

However, there are supporters of Yamal as well

At the same time, there are players in the team who believe in Yamal's unique talent and see him as a future leader. They view Lamin as a symbol of a new era for "Barcelona".

According to information coming from within the club, the management is also in favor of retaining Yamal and viewing him as a long-term project. Therefore, regardless of his age, the best conditions are being offered.

This situation at "Barcelona" once again shows how to maintain the balance between talent, youth, and money in football. Lamin Yamal is undoubtedly a future star in terms of talent, but how will the economic decisions related to him affect the atmosphere within the team?

What do you think — is Yamal really deserving of this level of salary, or is "Barca" putting him under excessive pressure too early?
