 Salary or jersey and titles? Lamine Yamal's father exposes his son

Munir Nasraoui, father of Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal, has sparked doubt and confusion among the giants' fans about the player's new salary. Lamine Yamal renewed his contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2031 on Tuesday, with a salary increase that brings his annual salary to 8 million euros.

However, Mounir Nasraoui, Yamal's father, posted a photo of the number "19.3" on his official Instagram account, sparking speculation among Barça fans and the father of the Barcelona winger, who has over one million followers. Some believed that the number 19.3 referred to Lamine Yamal's annual salary, but in reality, the 17-year-old winger earns 8 million, and his release clause is 1 billion euros.

For his part, journalist Santi Valle explained the number on Cadena Ser radio, explaining: "With a gross salary of 19.3 million euros, Lamine Yamal wouldn't be the highest-paid player at Barcelona, ​​because Lewandowski earns 26 million euros gross." He continued: "With this net salary, various reports indicate that Lamine, with all bonuses, could reach around 20 million euros."

Reporter Josep Pedrerol interpreted the meaning of the number 19.3 differently, saying: "What is Lamine Yamal's number? 19, and how many titles has he won? 3." He added: "I spoke with Lamine Yamal's father, and he laughs at what he did and finds it very funny, because his son doesn't receive that salary."

However, Lamine Yamal has actually won four titles with Barcelona, ​​not three. He won the league twice in 2023 and 2025, and this year also won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey.
