As the European transfer market begins to heat up, Barcelona continues to be the focus with new updates on young talents.
Sharing the latest, coach Enric Masiporta of Joan Laporta made special statements surrounding the case of Lamine Yamal, a player considered the "new Messi" at Camp Nou.
Masip is particularly assured about Yamal's contract extension progress: "I don't see any problems. Yamal is happy at Barcelona; that is the club of his life. He is comfortable with everything, his teammates, his environment. He always feels like a strong Cule.
This statement indirectly extinguishes recent rumors about Yamal's possible departure. By citing the players' stable mindset, Masip shows that Barcelona is still in control of the young players.
Masip also emphasized the importance of Yamal shining at the right time: We were lucky that Dembele left, Lamine appeared at the right time. Remember, when Mbappe arrived, Real Madrid were expected to win by 10 points. But in the end, Barca won.
According to Masip, Barcelona is in the process of completing two important deals with the support of "super broker" Jorge Mendes. One is a new contract for Yamal, which is expected to be announced when the player turns 18.
Second, Ansu Fati is preparing to move to AS Monaco. This also concludes a journey that was once highly anticipated in the whole of Spain.
