Lamine Yamal has said that he is "really content and happy" at Barcelona and has ambitions of becoming the Catalan club's captain within the next 10 years.
The record-breaking 16-year-old has been a vital player for Barcelona during the 2023-24 campaign, making 39 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals and registering seven assists in the process.
Yamal has a contract at Camp Nou until June 2026, but there has recently been speculation surrounding his future, with Paris Saint-Germain said to want the Spain international as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
PSG are thought to have had €200m (£170m) offer for the forward rejected by Barcelona, and there is believed to be a release clause of €1bn (£850m) in his current deal.
Yamal has expressed his happiness at Camp Nou, with the Spaniard insisting that he only sees his future at Barcelona despite the recent speculation.
"It's been a dream to be able to play for FC Barcelona in front of our fans," Yamal told the club's official website. "It's also a unique experience to share a dressing room with world-class players. I am really content and happy.
"Everything is all new to me. Nothing like this had ever happened to me. My only intention is to keep playing and enjoying being in the Barca shirt."
When asked where he sees himself in 10 years, Yamal responded: "I hope at FC Barcelona winning lots of trophies. It would be a dream for me to be captain."
Yamal also paid tribute to Xavi for the manager's role in his development.
"He has had a main role. He's the one who has confidence in me. Furthermore, he's giving me a run in the team now and I am gaining minutes. I am really happy and very grateful to a figure like Xavi," he said.
"It's an honour for me that a club legend, now my coach, says those things about me. It makes me really happy.
"As Xavi says, fear is one thing you should not have. It can hurt your game; it does not bring anything positive thinking about fear. You just have to be happy and enjoy having the ball at your feet."
Yamal has scored four times and registered six assists in 28 La Liga appearances this season, while he has provided one assist in eight outings in the Champions League.
