Exactly one year ago, no one would have expected Lamine Yamal to be the player he is today and, most importantly, that he would be so important in a team like Barcelona at such a young age
In the starting lineup that fans imagine Hansi Flick will play next season, everyone is betting on Lamine Yamal. He is untouchable and a starter and he is only 17 years old, which upsets the plans of some players at Barcelona
According to information from El Nacional: The player who will suffer the most from Lamine Yamal’s participation as a starter in Hansi Flick’s lineup is the Brazilian star Rafinha. In his first season with Dembélé, he had difficulty finding a place, and in the second season Lamine appeared. Although Rafinha’s numbers were good, the player is in a state of tension
The newspaper added: For his part, Barcelona officials know that Rafinha is one of those players who could receive huge offers to leave. In fact, Saudi Arabia has already shown interest in the Brazilian, but the player does not want to go to the Saudi League. He wants to continue enjoying European competitions and will not think about leaving unless an offer arrives. The newspaper indicated that Barcelona is clear that if an offer of 80 million euros arrives, they will have to think about it
This is the price that has been set for Rafinha’s departure, and there are many within the sports administration who do not rule out the arrival of an offer of this size during the month of August.
The newspaper added that Lamine Yamal’s brilliance made Barcelona’s management seriously consider selling Rafinha, in addition to the desire of German coach Hansi Flick to leave the Brazilian player and not include him in next season’s plans.
The newspaper concluded that for his part, the player is aware of the financial problems the club is suffering from and that if a good offer arrives, he wants to accept it. He does not close the door to anything and wants to see how the first few weeks with Flick will be and what the German coach expects from him
