19 - Lamine Yamal

As I and others have said, he's definitely getting in the teens, he's worth around 20m, but he's not getting that due to his age.

15-18m and a 5 year contract is good, after 3 years he jumps to around 25m.

Fans won't like it, but he's going to get Messi money it close to it by the time he's in his mid 20's

The key is not to give him a contract every year like barto did.

Whatever he gets now, he's staying on for basically 4 years.

I disagree with the transfer fees. PSG ain't paying shit for Lamine.

They will see what Mbappe done and tap his dad up until Lamine retires. 100-200m sign on fee and 50m to his dad. That's the new reality.

That's why this can get so dangerous and we will be forced to renew him every few years.

Best to sit back and watch if this becomes a saga or not, and take that as a sign for what is ahead years to come.

For now he says. And then get back to positive finance and invest in the elite talents like Estevao when they come along in the future inspite of Lamine being here.

Lamine is the best player in the world. The most marketable player in the world. He's bringing the most to the club, on and off the pitch.

Even when you have great love for a club/ person/whatever, you don't want to sell yourself short, or feel like you are being taken advantage of.

If Bayern are giving Musiala 25m and are prepared to give Wirtz the same, how can we, with a straight face, deny Lamine 25m if he asks for that?

25m would still have him below Mbappe and Haaland, as he should be, since those two got inflated wages due to no, and low transfer fees, respectively.

I would be comfortable with 25m, but I agree with a lot of people here, who have said that the contract would then need to be a relatively long one.

Lamine is the new Messi or young Neymar. Really. Just to watch him play is a joy. Raphinha + Lewy + Pedri + Olmo etc are extras but Lamine is the one you always must see. He is electrifying.

We are not criticizing the club , it's doing its job to keep the best youngster in the world, it's more of a critique to the athletes. Barca invests a lot in the academy and is lauded the best in the world. The graduates need to show more gratitude or stop calling themselves cules and just be regular athletes/mercenaries .

How can you not love gavi.

The masia boys seem to be very close, that's the importance of having them in the squad, not them going under paid.

We you are genuine friends with your team mates and you feel genuine affection towards the club, you will give that extra bit
It seems like Barca fans on social media have turned on Gavi recently.

The kid needs more time imo.

Put a 800 million to one billion clause in. If oil club wants to pay, let them.
No point being held to ransom by one player.
We could rebuild the squad. Only issue is that clown Deco. He'll probably buy 7 Vicor Roques.

Once you have 800m in the bank, a 50m player will cost 120m, and a genuine elite 100m player will cost the double if not more.

No club will pay that much anyway. I don't think Neymar's 222m record will be broken anytime soon.

When you have that money you have to stick with buy out clauses and free agents to improve the squad. Be it locally or these mid selling clubs who are now inserting favourable sales clauses like with Huijsen, Frimpong and Gyokeres.

So there is a way to navigate that Bartomeu failed at in the Summer of Coutinho-Dembele. In his defense (slightly) the market was different back then and the only suitable name with a "modest" buyout at that point Yannick Carrasco at 98m.

Anything was better than splashing so much for Coutinho and Dembele. Even just saving the money for another season.

Jorge Mendes arrived in Barcelona today with like 4 or 5 assistants and is now having a meeting with him.
Likely to watch over the renewal offer and sign it so it goes into effect when he turns 18.
