Barcelona superstar will stop giving out free autographs

Barcelona and Spanish national team midfielder Lamin Yamal may soon stop giving free autographs to fans. The reason for this will be the signing of an advertising contract with a company that will produce exclusive merchandise with his signature. This is reported by Mundo Deportivo.

According to the terms of the future agreement, the footballer will be obligated not to give away autographs for free in order to maintain the commercial value of the signed products. Sources note that the Catalan club itself also plans to gain access to a certain number of its player's autographs for selling club merchandise.

Yamal, whose transfer value is estimated at 200 million euros, is showing impressive statistics in the current season - 2 goals and 3 assists in 5 matches. In the previous 2024/25 season, he played 35 matches for Barcelona in La Liga, in which he scored nine goals and provided 13 assists, becoming one of the key players of the team that won the Spanish Championship and Cup. In 2024, the footballer also became European champion with the Spanish national team.
