Yeah, the extension this summer will be the easiest one. Going forward Barca will need to offer him a huge salary to stay. But that's still in the future and let's enjoy the next season first.The only thing that I hope for is that he remains a Barça player for many more years to come and playing at this level.
He needs to keep up his hunger and discipline, remain injury-free, and remain a Barça player. Basically, follow Messi as a role-model, and not Neymar.
Last post from the 1st page of the topic.Nothing to see here, he'll leave us in a year or two.
That's the thing with BBZ. It's easy to say everyone won't make it. Because the probability is that most won't make it.There is no way to make it today as a winger with his (slow) pace.
He can be only a poor man's Raphinha or Trincao.
His only hope is turning into a creative midfielder who can also defend a lot.
This hype machine is obviously staged to keep fans happy and full of hope, offering 1-2 new potential gems every season.
And the weaker are the results of the first team, then papers & hype machine have to "create" more new gems from La Masia to keep the hype, hope and the brand alive.

I wrote about this before but we cannot expect Yamal to be decisive in his mid thirties. He's already one of the world's best so the count already started. 15 years at the top should be reasonable to expect, like Messi, even if their starting ages were different.Yeah, the extension this summer will be the easiest one.

The club needs also to protect him. Having played over 4300 minutes + having the Euros in his legs before this season with 17 years is absolutely insane. Messi didn't reach 3000 with 21.
It'll be very difficult to sub him given his talent and impact on the pitch, but it's needed if the club wants a 10-15 years long worldclass career with some Ballon D'Ors.
15 years at the top is reasonable? Bar Messi and Ronaldo, no player has achieved this.15 years at the top should be reasonable to expect, like Messi, even if their starting ages were different.
Yes thats totally fine as long as he wins tons of trophies at Barca. He can do an Iniesta at that point. Regardless 15 years of Yamal is an ez sign off for meI wrote about this before but we cannot expect Yamal to be decisive in his mid thirties.

Yamal will probably slow down significantly when he reaches 30+, but that's fine because he compensates it by giving us brilliant football as a teenager.
With the tools he has currently it's reasonable I would say. Established player at young age, no motivation issues like Neymar, knows how to save energy during games.15 years at the top is reasonable? Bar Messi and Ronaldo, no player has achieved this.
If Lamine does it, it would be extraordinary.
