He will be without a contract next summer. Nevertheless, bids of 250 million euros came, an offer Barcelona quickly rejected. Even with the club’s shaky finances, PSG were not going to get the biggest jewel Barcelona have had since Lionel Messi. Now the teenager himself tells us what will happen in the future and why.
Lamine Yamal’s contract expires in June, but it has been reported by various Spanish media that the former academy player has pledged his loyalty to Barca, whose contract will be extended when he turns 18 in July.
“I don’t think anyone doubts how I am as a Barca player, how much I love this club. I’ve been saying it since I made my debut and I think it will work out in the end. If both parties want something to happen, it will happen, but I don’t think anyone can doubt how I feel about this club,” Yamal begins to Mundo Deportivo.
When asked about his links to Paris Saint-Germain and whether he could leave in the near future, the winger adds:
-I don’t think so. I don’t get any (offers), but if someone in my circle did, they wouldn’t even tell me. First, and above all because I had a contract, then because I think it’s impossible for me to go to another club. Well, apart from the only team I started in La Torreveta, it has been in the club. I owe Barca, that’s where I grew up. I was at La Masía from the age of 12 and played for Barca from the age of seven,” the 17-year-old concludes with a wild 83 senior games, 18 goals and 22 assists.
Call us nostalgic, but we love this relationship between player and club. Old school, without the restlessness of the youth, constantly looking for a better offer.
