“Lamine Yamal's renewal would be the best signing“Deco said, Barça's sports director. And in that the club is, determined to close as soon as possible the continuity of the young talent, 17 years old. He already had an agreement with the player and Jorge Mendes, his agent, to be activated on July 13 when he turns 18.
But Barça's idea goes through Obtain, and urgently, Lamine's firmfor whom the Paris SG had been interested last summer. But in no case, as Deco has recognized, Madrid. The idea is to set a dysuasory clause For any club, located in the 1,000 million euros.
Lunch with Mendes
The player has lunch this noon in Barcelona with Jorge Mendes, his agent, as he has revealed 'jijantes', to define those master lines of his continuity in the club. Subject that must now be resolved by Deco, with Joan Laporta, the president of Barça, preparing the trip on the way to Lisbon where the final of the women's Champions League will be played on Saturday against Arsenal.
Lamine Yamal's explosion is Similar to Messi'swho forced Txiki Begiristain in his day, then Barca Sports Director, to travel in 2005 to Holland-there was the young man with the Argentine Sub-20 team-to obtain the firm that he needed so much. The executive left to Utrecht, where Messi was concentrated to avoid any type of problem.
“He has not asked to be the best paid”
With Lamine it happens almost the same. The agreement that should be activated in July has been outdated before launching. Hence, Barça accelerates to present a new document that Equate the young striker with the best paid on the squadlike Lewandowski and Jong. “No, he has not asked to be the best paid,” Deco has rushed in an interview that has granted Jordi Basté in RAC-1,

Mendes is in Barcelona debating with the player himself the keys to that new agreement that the board has transferred to him. “It's a Player out of the ordinary And therefore you have to treat this way, “Laporta had recognized TV-3 aware of the uniqueness of the pact that must be signed with the striker.
The agreement would be for five years
It would be an agreement for five years with progressive amounts that later, over time, they would be consolidatedeither. That is the strategy that was done in its day with Messi that came to sign up to seven different contracts in just a decade. The Barça wants to close it so that the player leaves with the quiet Spanish team.
He has the Nations League appointment in June – the semifinal will be next day 5 against France – and then start the holiday before returning to Barca discipline in July, and with the new agreement sealed, thus frightening any temptation of others. Hence the rush to arrive and, above all, sign the new agreement with Lamine.

It is not, as Deco said, a matter of age but of adjust Lamine's importance and influence -It is one of the best, it is unbalanced- to a new salary scale. “In football it does not exist if you have 18 or 27 but to have the contract that is fair and we are going to accommodate what fits its reality,” said the Barca sports director.
“It is not to be better paid, but to be among the most important or the most important. He can have things that do not have others, and vice versa,” he stressed after Deco, specifying, at all times, than “The renewal is on the right track And that the important thing is that he is happy and we are with him. I think there is no better club for him than Barça. ”
