For two years he has emerged as the most promising talent in world football. And it’s not his recent injury that will lower his rating in Europe. Lamine Yamal is the great pride of FC Barcelona.
A pure product of La Masia, the young Spanish striker (17 years old) has Europe at his feet. While he would have been the subject of an offer of 250 million euros, his club would have secured his situation by setting his departure clause at 1 billion euros… Crazy figures for a nugget which does not envisage his future elsewhere.
Lamine Yamal seals its future
Often inclined to open the door to consider a juicy transfer, Jorge Mendes, representative of Lamine Yamal, was very clear about the Spanish European champion: there will be no departure in the short term. “ Of course he will extend his contract with Barça… Lamine, he is from Barça! », blurted the influential Potugese on the sidelines of the Golden Boy ceremony.
“ I imagine myself in Barcelona, to win as much as possible, especially the Champions League with Barcelona and the World Cup with Spain, confirmed the attacker for his part, in a message broadcast during the festivities. The president is always happy when we win but even if we don’t win, he always helps us by giving us great support. He says I remind him when Neymar arrived… He’s one of the best players to ever play for Barcelona, one of my idols, I hope to do as well as him. » The message got through.
