Deco reveals the offers for Lamine Yamal and talks about Florentino: 'Real Madrid...'

Barça's sporting director confirmed that Real Madrid has no interest in Lamine Yamal

"Paris Saint-Germain came to ask. Real Madrid didn't", stated Deco, sporting director of FC Barcelona, about Lamine Yamal's future. At just 17 years old, the winger hasn't signed his renewal with the Catalan club yet, although it is expected to be a matter of time.

From Barça's offices, however, they completely rule out the possibility of his departure, regardless of the offers that may come. In fact, the club is already working for the player to sign the renewal. In Barcelona, there is talk of a contract that could make Lamine Yamal the highest-paid in the squad.

Deco's words about the offers to Lamine Yamal

"Last season they came to ask about him, this year not yet. But we want him to stay and enjoy Lamine for a long time. Paris Saint-Germain came to ask, Real Madrid didn't", confirmed Deco.

For now, Joan Laporta and his board have a very clear stance: Lamine Yamal is a future project for Barcelona and his departure is completely unfeasible. However, the decision has been a frustrated dream for his father, who has always been a Real Madrid fan and dreamed of seeing his son at the Madrid club.

Lamine Yamal has Real Madrid influence

Mounir Nasraoui, the young talent's father, confessed in an interview with Jijantes that he was a Real Madrid supporter in the past. However, now he supports Barça because "it feeds him" thanks to his son's sports career.

However, Mounir Nasraoui's Real Madrid fandom was evident on the eve of the Copa del Rey final Clásico. At that time, a video was leaked on social media showing him wearing a Real Madrid jersey and with the club's flag on his head. This gesture has caused surprise and comments in the player's environment.

Nevertheless, from Barcelona they believe that, for now, the player will renew with the club. However, one never knows how Lamine Yamal's career might evolve in the future. Stranger things have happened, and the supposed transfer of the winger could make the famous operation with Luís Figo an anecdote.
