If he plays like this next year, I think he will be a player who will make history. Lamine Yamal is one of the few players who excites me after Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Barcelona is very lucky to have acquired such a player from the youth academy. Also, Lionel Messi was raised from the youth academy of Barcelona. I think these examples show how valuable and good the youth academy of Barcelona is. Also, not only them, many players who are currently at a good level in world football came out of the youth academy of Barcelona. Therefore, playing in the youth academy of Barcelona can be considered the beginning of incredible levels for a football player.
Yamal is a very talented player and it is not surprising that Barcelona wants to extend his contract. I am not even surprised that they offered him a new contract for 5 years because the player is very young, only 17 years old. Young players are less prone to injuries and more motivated to get results so of course Barcelona will want to keep such a player in their team for as long as possible. Will Barcelona be focused on bringing in some new players this summer or will their main goal be to keep those who are already in the team?
