In a recent high-profile move, FC Barcelona has officially announced that it has extended the contract of 16-year-old striker starlet Yemma until 2026, a move that is not only a great optimism for his future potential but also a strong statement on the transfer market. The club has deliberately included a clause of up to 1 billion euros (HK$8.2 billion) in the contract for the destruction of the contract in order to prevent other big clubs from coveting it. This decision is undoubtedly a huge investment for Barcelona, which is currently facing financial difficulties.
Looking back on Yema's growth, he made his debut in the Spanish Primera Division in April this year at the age of 15 years and 290 days, and became the youngest debutant in Barcelona's history at that record age. This season, he has quickly risen through the ranks, establishing himself as a starter and making his mark on the Spanish national team. In last month's UEFA Cup final, Yemma became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Spanish national team at the age of 16 years and 57 days. In a recent match, Yemma showed his talent once again, helping Barcelona beat Xavier 1-0 with a brilliant two-on-one header that indirectly assisted an own goal by the famous Shajio Ramos, an impressive move.
