Manchester City and Liverpool are keeping an eye on Lamine Yamal’s contract situation.

Manchester City and Liverpool may find themselves competing for one of football’s brightest young stars—Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.

Since making his first-team debut at just 15, Yamal has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in world football. Now 17, he is regarded as one of the best young players globally. While Barcelona currently benefits from his talents, there is a possibility that his future at the club could be uncertain.

Previously linked with PSG, Yamal is under contract with Barcelona until 2026. The plan has been for him to sign a new five-year deal upon turning 18 in July. However, due to the club’s financial struggles and wage bill restrictions, his contract extension could be delayed.

If Barcelona fails to secure his new deal, there is a chance he could leave the club next summer. According to Mundo Deportivo, both Manchester City and Liverpool are closely monitoring his situation.

However, the likelihood of Yamal departing remains slim. Despite financial difficulties, Barcelona is expected to make the necessary adjustments to accommodate his new contract. Those within the club remain confident that an agreement will be reached by the summer.

While Yamal would be a dream signing for any European club, for now, it appears he will remain at Barcelona.
