Despite Barcelona’s outstanding accomplishments this season, where they secured a domestic treble by winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Super Cup, the club’s challenges did not conclude with their final victory.
While fans celebrated and technical staff found satisfaction in the team’s performance, the club’s management understands that maintaining success is often more demanding than achieving it initially.
Now, Barcelona faces a crucial period of internal restructuring, with one of the most pressing issues being the renewal of contracts for several key players whose deals are approaching their expiration dates.
These concerns extend beyond simply retaining top talent. They coincide with the club’s ongoing financial difficulties, which continue to influence decision-making processes and complicate contract negotiations. The management now finds itself grappling with the difficult task of keeping the team competitive and stable while operating under financial limitations.
At the same time, they must balance the ambitions of star players with the realistic needs of the club’s sporting project. As a result, the period following their successful season presents a new kind of challenge — one that requires administrative skill and strategic foresight, on par with the competition faced on the pitch.
Among the club’s rising stars is 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in global football. With his exceptional performances this season, Yamal has consistently demonstrated his ability, positioning himself not as a temporary phenomenon, but as a future football icon with growing market value and an increasing fan following.
Although his current contract with Barcelona runs until 2026, financial constraints make it uncertain whether the club can meet his salary demands and sporting expectations moving forward.
According to Spanish publication Defensa Central, Yamal and his representatives, led by agent Jorge Mendes, are seeking a new contract that reflects his rapid development and importance to the team.
However, Barcelona president Joan Laporta faces significant difficulty in meeting these demands under the club’s current financial conditions. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has expressed serious interest in acquiring Yamal.
Coach Luis Enrique, in particular, is reportedly eager to bring the young star to Paris, even asking club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to personally approach Yamal’s family with an attractive offer — one that triples Barcelona’s current proposal. As PSG aims for a treble of its own, this potential transfer could become a major story in the coming months.
