Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, is attempting to sign forward Lamine Yamal, 15, also known as the “new Lionel Messi,” to a new contract. The young teen has already played for the first team, but he hasn’t made his debut yet. Yamal’s skill, excellent technique, and capacity for teamwork have made him well-known.
Messi is also known for scoring goals, which has impressed Camp Nou’s coaching staff. He had the opportunity to train with Xavi Hernandez, the manager of the first team, this season while some players were away at the World Cup in Qatar. He has become a standout youngster in La Masia thanks to his performances that are comparable to those of Messi and caught the attention of the coaching staff.
Yamal will be able to sign his first professional contract when he turns 16 in July. He is wanted by a number of major European teams, but Barcelona is determined to keep him at the club.
El Nacional reports that President Laporta is committed to keeping Yamal at Camp Nou and is currently leading the negotiations.
Similar to how Gavi made his professional debut at a young age, the Spaniard may join the first team and make his debut next season. It also bears some resemblance to the way in which Messi made his debut as a teenager and went on to become a club legend.
It is said that the club has high hopes for Yamal’s future because the club’s academy is known for its ability to develop young talent. They anticipate him following in the footsteps of the legendary Argentina captain. With interest in the teenager from other European clubs, it is unclear what Yamal will do in the future.
In any case, Barcelona is allegedly devoted to keeping him,
fostering his ability, and helping him in arriving at his maximum capacity. The coaching and management staff are also excited to see what he can accomplish in the coming years. Yamal clearly possesses the skills necessary to succeed at Camp Nou.
According to Spanish media outlet Sport, Barcelona president Laporta is determined to bring back the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner Messi to the club. Barcelona refuses to give up on re-signing Messi. In order to persuade the Argentine to decline a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain, plans have already been made to get in touch directly with him.
According to reports, the president is making the forward’s possible return a priority for Barca. After he retires, the Blaugrana hope that he will eventually join them as an ambassador. When the club legend left in the summer of 2021 due to financial issues, Barcelona never had the opportunity to properly say goodbye to him.
The financial issues facing the club have not yet been completely resolved. However, according to Sport, they are working to position themselves to offer the club legend a suitable contract.
