Comparisons quickly surfaced between Lionel Messi’s $12 million salary at Inter Miami and Lamine Yamal’s lucrative new deal with FC Barcelona. Lamine Yamal recently signed a lucrative contract extension with FC Barcelona after emerging as one of the brightest young stars in world soccer at just 18 years old.

Barcelona's decision to hand the legendary No. 10 shirt to teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has already paid off in spectacular fashion, with the club reportedly selling 70,000 jerseys within a single day.
