Lamine Yamal is 16 years old but is already succeeding at the highest level. To progress, he gains mass and draws inspiration from the greatest. The Barça winger takes his example from a former member of the Blaugrana: Neymar. On his TikTok account, where he likes to share the daily life of the locker room, the young Spaniard published an image which says a lot about his admiration for the Brazilian. The dribbling and fantasies of the former Barça and PSG player inspire the prodigy from La Masia. While some media speak of a dotted future for Lamine Yamal at Barça, Deco, the club’s sporting director, wants to be reassuring.

“We are not afraid of his departure. We have a contract for the next eight years”he declared on the channel Esports3. A contract which should therefore allow Lamine Yamal to approach the level of Neymar during his time at Barça (2013-2017).
