Never”said Lamine Yamal before admitting that he wanted to become “a Barça legend”. When asked about the subject again, the 17-year-old player did not hesitate to reaffirm his position. “Your value is 120 million according to Transfermarkt. Do you want that to be paid for you? No, because that means I will leave Barcelona. I don’t want that, I want to be a legend at Barcelona”. A very clear message that should put an end to the many rumors about him. Or not.
