Barcelona Sporting Director Deco had a message for Lamine Yamal about his urge for future greatness for club and country.
The 17-year-old continues on his meteoric turnout for La Blaugrana and La Roja and he looks destined to become a generation-defined player.
Despite his tender age, Lamine Yamal is one of the first names on the team magazine for both Hansi Flick and Luis de la Fuente, prior to a Crunch 2025/26 campaign and the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Barcelona has secured its future through a long -term contract extension, but club insiders remain determined to manage the hype around him.
Flick insured a Trophy Treble in his first season in Barcelona with an attacking trio by Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha who are vital to his success.
Deco failed in his attempts to lure Lamine Yamal's friend Nico Williams to Barcelona – after his call to sign a gigantic extension in Bilbao – but the former Portugal International is clear where the first is going.
“Lamine Yamal is a phenomenon. Being the best in the world depends on him,” according to Marca.
“He will be in Barca in the coming years, who competes at the highest level, in the Champions League, in La Liga, competing with Real Madrid and the big clubs.
“I also say this for the national team of Spain, that will shine in tournaments because it is very strong.
“He grew up in the neighborhoods of Mataró, and that has helped him become so mature now. He understands that he has a responsibility as a player.”
Lamine Yamal ended the 2024/25 season with 18 goals scored with all competitions.
However, he also collected a sensational 21-assists for the indictment of Flick, who both placed him in the race with Paris Saint-Germain Forward Ousmane Dembele for the Ballon d'Or of 2025.
