Currently the biggest youngster in the world of football, Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has continued to impress at the highest level for club and country.
Yamal who has lit up Euro 2024 with Spain, has opened up on any potential move to Real Madrid in the future.
The 16-year-old ahead of the quarter-final clash with Germany at Euro 2024, was asked by Spanish publication MARCA to grade himself from 1-10 in terms of how much of a Barcelona fan he is – with the teenager quickly replying with “10” to give himself full marks.
Yamal was then asked if he’d asked fit the profile of a Culer who would say ‘I will never play for Real Madrid‘, and he gave an emphatic answer of “Yes!”
Currently 16, when Yamal turns 18, he’ll then be able to sign an improved, long-term contract with Barcelona. His new contract is likely to include a €1bn release clause.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are the biggest rival in Spanish football, however, both teams have exchanged players in the past.
Previous players to cross the Barcelona/Real Madrid divide include Luis Figo, Luis Enrique, Samuel Eto’o and legendary striker Ronaldo, but Yamal’s words suggest he’ll stay loyal to a Barcelona side he is currently contracted to until 2026.
