At just 16 years old, Lamine Yamal found a place in Xavi’s rotation at FC Barcelona. His innate talent and precociousness have forced the Catalans to already extend the young striker, who now has a release clause worth one billion euros. Enough to reassure the Blaugranas and allow the nugget to develop far from the gaze of other European teams. While Barça travels to Porto on Wednesday evening, in the Champions League, the former coach of Celta Vigo in particular Carlos Carvalhal made a very laudatory comparison towards Lamine Yamal for Sport.
“Be careful with young players and the path they take, even if that doesn’t seem to be the case for Lamine”he begins. “He is at a club that knows how to take care of its players. When he plays from the start, he does very well and when he has ten minutes too. It reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo’s process with Ferguson at Manchester United. It’s a very important process for his growth and Xavi does it phenomenally: he puts him in the match, gives him minutes, doesn’t let him dazzle, keeps his feet on the ground… Very good. He has brutal potential and, if he continues like this, he will be at Mbappé’s level.finally tells Carlos Carvalhal who believes strongly in Yamal.
