What's up, mates? We're kicking off our salary series with the most-searched name in Spanish football: how much does Lamine Yamal earn? European champion in 2024, world champion in 2026, and Barcelona's number 10 before turning 20. Fair warning: Barcelona don't publish their wage bills, so everything you're about to read comes from the press. I'll tell you who says what, because they're not all singing from the same hymn sheet.
💰 The contract: until 2031 and wearing the number 10
Barcelona announced the deal on 27 May 2025, and the contract was officially signed on his 18th birthday, 13 July, as regulations require. According to ESPN, the club decided to extend it a year longer than initially discussed (through 2031) because his growth had made the figures they were working with obsolete. The renewal also came with the number 10, Messi's old shirt.
📊 What he earns: what each outlet reports
| Source | What they report |
|---|---|
| Sport | Around 8 M€ net fixed per season; with variables (goals, appearances, titles, individual awards) could reach 15-20 M€ net. |
| La Razón | Around 20 M€ net per year, which gross would be around 30-40 M€. More than ten times his previous salary. |
| El Chiringuito | 8 M€ net in the first year, with increases of 2 M€ per season. |
Figures published in 2025 when the renewal was announced. FC Barcelona has not disclosed the amounts.
Why such a big difference? Because some are talking about the fixed amount and others the total with add-ons, and some give net figures while others give gross. In Spain, a salary that high is taxed at roughly fifty percent, so 20 million net is around 40 gross. The reasonable range is between 8 million net guaranteed and 20 net if all targets are hit. And for a lad who's winning Euros and World Cups, those targets tend to get met.
🧮 What it comes to per month, per day and per match
Working it out with the 20 million net that La Razón reports:
- Per month: around 1.67 million euros.
- Per day: around 54,800 euros.
- Per hour, sleeping included: around 2,280 euros.
And with the 8 million net fixed that Sport publishes, just 667,000 euros a month. Pocket change, really.
🔴⚪ The comparison that stings
🏆 Why he's worth it
At just 17 he won the 2024 Euros, and at 19, the 2026 World Cup, final against Argentina and all. He came to La Masia at seven, made his first-team debut as a kid, and today he's the face of Barcelona and the national team. No player his age has won this much, this quick. And in modern football, that gets paid.
