For the past few days, Jorge Mendes has been going on a media tour. The super agent discusses in particular the future and the future extension of Lamine Yamal (17 years old). Last night, he showed it again in Dubai, before the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony. “It is certain that Lamine Yamal will renew his contract soon, he should stay at Barcelona. I can’t tell you if it will be renewed in a month or two, but it’s certain.”
Then he added: “the truth is that last season Lamine was phenomenal. For me and for many others, he was the best player in the world last year, both with Spain and with Barcelona. He is a player totally different from all the others. He knows what he needs for his future, he’s a balanced guy and I think he’s ready to stay at the top for many years. Now he is recovering from his injury, he has to have a little patience and he will be back in the team soon.” Enough to make Catalan supporters smile.
