Deku, the sports director of the "Barcelona" team, shared his thoughts on Lamine Yamal's current level and future prospects. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
At the end of May, the 17-year-old footballer signed a new contract with the "blue-burgundy" team, which is set to last until 2031. The young Spanish player became one of the indispensable players of the team in the first season under the leadership of Hans-Dieter Flick.
In the interview, Deku referred to Yamal as a true phenomenon and emphasized that becoming one of the best footballers in the world depends solely on him. In the coming years, Yamal is expected to play for "Barcelona" and compete with "Real" for the La Liga championship.
Currently, Lamine has similarities to a young Neymar. Life has gifted him maturity beyond his years.
Although Yamal's responsibilities in the team have increased, he is still a very young player. Neymar played for "Barcelona" from 2013 to 2017 and later transferred to "PSG" for a record sum of 222 million euros.
