Spanish media: Yamal demands penalty kicks and free kicks at Barcelona

Yamar demands the right to take penalty and free kicks in Barcelona

After completing the contract renewal with Barcelona, ​​forward Yamal made a series of demands aimed at enhancing his influence in the club.

According to World Sports, Yamal has requested the Barcelona management, hoping to obtain the right to take direct free kicks and penalty kicks starting next season. At present, this task is mainly shared by Rafinia and Lewandowski, who is the penalty kicker designated by coach Flick.

If Yamal's request is met, this will trigger a major tactical adjustment at the Camp Nou Stadium. However, World Sports also pointed out that such an arrangement may cause dissatisfaction among other players. Rafinia and Lewandowski have been efficient in their free throw missions for years, and depriving them of this right may affect the mentality and performance of both on the court.

But for Yamal, getting the penalty right to these set pieces would be a great opportunity to help him significantly improve his goal statistics in the new season. In the Spanish national team, Yamal's penalty shooting percentage is as high as 80%. If he can get similar penalty rights in Barcelona, ​​he is expected to contribute more goals next season.

In addition, as early as the end of May, the Marca reported that Yamal had signed a new contract with Barcelona to renew the contract until 2031 and raise its annual salary to 17 million euros. His liquidated damages clause also increased to 1 billion euros.

According to multiple Spanish media reports, according to additional terms in the new contract, Yamal can earn up to 20 million euros per year, provided that relevant performance conditions are met.
