Lamine Yamal's agent wants Barcelona to evaluate him correctly

It seems that the huge pile of pending operations at Barcelona is getting bigger and bigger. While it is already proving difficult to complete other deals, Barça may be facing new problems. Unfortunately for Barcelona, ​​time is not exactly on their side either.

While the race for Nico Williams continues, and Barcelona may even have to agree to a loan move to afford him, there are other priorities as well. These include not only other potential signings, but also how to deal with current players.

In this sense, no player is currently a higher priority for Barcelona than 17-year-old Lamine Yamal. The young superstar has also become the club’s most valuable player following his performances at the European Championship, a title he won with his country.

Now, however, his agent reportedly wants Barcelona to value him according to his sporting performances. According to SPORT, Jorge Mendes believes Yamal’s contract is severely undervalued compared to some of the club’s top earners, considering that he is in some ways the face of the club and also taking into account his surreal performances at the European Championships.

From both a marketing and sporting perspective, it is clear that Lamine Yamal is the future of FC Barcelona, ​​but Mendes wants to ensure that his contract reflects this and he wants Barça to make financial efforts if necessary to ensure that happens.

Furthermore, Barcelona president Joan Laporta reportedly agrees with Mendes and has already expressed his desire to do just that and to make a financial effort to ensure that Yamal receives the right value, the same report says.

The relationship between Barça and Jorge Mendes remains strong and that is key to keeping everything running smoothly. Many other players at the Catalan club and even abroad are represented by Mendes and thanks to his positive relationship with La Blaugrana, a lot of good things have come of it for both sides.
