Barcelona's new star Yemma, at the age of just 16, has shown amazing talent this season and has been hailed as another super talent in the team's history after Lionel Messi. In the face of such potential, the La Liga giants have made a decisive move, signing a new contract with Yemma that extends to 2026 and setting a liquidated damages of up to 1 billion euros (about HK$8.3 billion) to prevent other top clubs from snatching up the young talent.
Yemma's lightning-quick performance this season has not only solidified his place as a starter for Barcelona, but has also allowed him to succeed in the Spanish national team. In last month's Europa League qualifier, Yemma scored a goal against Georgia, becoming the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Spanish national team at the age of 16 years and 57 days. And in a recent La Liga match, Yemma was once again a force to be reckoned with, assisting a header that set up an own goal by legendary defender Sergio Ramos to help Barcelona to a 1-0 win over Xavier.
