Laporta is calm – Lamine Yamal's contract is ready

Barcelona president Joan Laporta admitted that everything regarding the new contract of the team's big star Lamine Yamal has been agreed. All that remains is for the great talent, who will turn 18 in July, to officially put his signature on the agreement, reports sportal.bg.

"He is a genius who enjoys playing for Barca. He has friends at Barca, and he is also part of this generation that is used to living with his teammates. He is a football player with excellent individual talent, but he is also a team player. He also has an agent, Jorge Mendes, with whom we have easy communication. The renewal of his contract has practically already been agreed, all that remains is his signature“, explained Laporta.

„At Barca, we pay players according to their abilities. "We are a club that pays well. We also say that there is no better place than Barca. Lamine is a player who can succeed anywhere. We know that. It has happened before when Inter wanted Leo Messi. In the end, however, we all decided then, together with Leo's father, that Barca was the best project for him. And it was really so, because he became the best player in history. Lamine, at 17 years old, is one of the best in the world. He and his family feel very comfortable here," Laporta added.
