Yamal’s Renewal Will End Up Happening – Deco

Barcelona sporting director, Deco has come out to say that he expects Lamine Yamal to sign a new contract soon. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he sees the skillful forward to making history at the club as part of an exciting generation of youngsters, and he does not even expect any player to want to leave Barcelona in the near future.

Deco added that Yamal‘s renewal will end up happening because he clearly wants to be at the club.

His words, “A player has to be happy where they are, but I can’t see a better place for Lamine to be,” Deco told ESPN when asked about Yamal’s contractual situation.

The boy grew up here; he’s from here. This generation of players has the chance to make history. Putting myself in his shoes, I would want to be here, to be part of it.

I don’t see any problem, especially as he has a contract [until 2026]. [The renewal] will end up happening.

I don’t believe anyone will want to leave this team, given the dynamic and the fun they’re having

We have already renewed most of the players’ [contracts]; now we need to take care of the others that are still here. I said last year we couldn’t lose anyone and I think it’s the same now.

If we can improve, that’s always an option, but the key is to consolidate what we have for the coming years. Suddenly we feel quite dependent on Raphinha and Lamine. Maybe we need similar players, a solution for them [when they’re not available].

But the squad is quite balanced and we have a lot of good players coming through the youth teams as well.

The idea at the start of the season, with the changes we made, was to compete. Competing means fighting with the top teams.

The season has slightly exceeded expectations, because we have competed against a strong Real Madrid side and only because of fine margins are we not in the final of the Champions League.

To get to the end of the season be competing for everything, that was the idea. And we have won the Spanish Supercopa and the Copa del Rey already.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
