Lamine Yamal is said to be frustrated at Camp Nou. Also, whispers are becoming more frequent about a possible departure.
Hansi Flick, the manager of Barcelona, and the 18-year old sensation who was last year’s Europe champion for Spain, as well as a key player in Barcelona achieving a domestic treble is said to have a rift behind closed doors. The club is also receiving a bid for a world record.
Lamine Yamal is unhappy at Barcelona
Yamal has shone on the right side of the field. He only signed a contract renewal this summer, and proudly wears the iconic No.10 shirt. Lamine, hailed by many as one the top young talents for years to come in football, has impressive stats despite his injury setbacks. He scored two goals and had four assists in five games this season.
The Spanish outlet claims FichajesYamal feels undervalued because of Flick’s public criticism.
Al-Hilal is willing to pay big for Yamal
Here comes the Saudi club Al-Hilal, who have tabled a jaw-dropping offer that could eclipse Neymar’s record-breaking €222 million move to PSG in 2017. According to Spanish sources, Al-Hilal is ready to pay €400 million for Lamine!
While Barcelona reportedly rejected the bid (the teenager carries a €1 billion release clause), the financial implications are hard to ignore. Barcelona could end a decade-long financial headache with just a fraction. Transfermarkt currently values Yamal at €200 million.
What’s next?
This is a delicate balance act. Barcelona’s management is trying to keep the star of La Masia and maintain stability. Yamal seems to be affected by Flick’s respect for him and his desire to play in harmony. The Blaugrana may not be able to retain their best young players if they are tempted by the mega-sale.
The coming weeks are going to be crucial for Yamal, Barcelona and the whole football world. Will the teenager stay loyal to Barcelona, or will we see a move that could break records and reshape the footballing world once more?
