Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said that talks to extend Lamine Yamal’s contract will end well, with the LaLiga champions prepared to give the teenager “special treatment.”

Yamal has a deal with Barça until 2026 and ESPN have previously reported the Catalan club want to tie him down to longer terms when he turns 18 in July.

“There is always some suffering involved,” Laporta told TV3 when asked for an update on negotiations to prolong the forward’s contract.

“It’s been discussed, but it’s not signed. Lamine’s a great player, an extraordinary person and is already very mature.

“There are good feelings with his representatives and with his family. His agent, [Jorge] Mendes, advises him well.

Discussions between both parties have been ongoing for months, but with each passing week Yamal’s market value continues to grow.

He has played a key role in the final months of the season as Barça completed a domestic treble, winning LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa.
