Nugget of FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal rose to the rank of star in just a few months. If the player's talent dazzles on the pitch, certain noises from outside create much less consensus. Latest to date revealed by the Spanish press: the possibility of seeing the player's autographs become chargeable. Enough to make some observers jump.
Consultant for the L'Équipe channel, Brahim Asloum was invited to react on the subject this Friday. And for the Olympic boxing champion at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, this idea of a paid signature does not work at all. “Charging for an autograph… You have to be a big idiot, anyway. But I don't think it comes from him. It can't come from the champion. It comes from those around you who try to invent things. »
However, Brahim Asloum explained that he was not against the resale of autographs. “Whether I give a person an autograph, in the end they do what they want with it. » And to give your personal opinion on autographs, in general.
“I already find it stupid to do an autograph. It doesn't cost the athlete anything to make an autograph, and even if you have to sell it behind, you've got yourself a ticket, good for you. »
