Barcelona have no complaints about teenage La Masia gem’s behaviour – report

One of La Masia’s brightest prospects pipped to make the jump to the Barcelona senior setup, Lamine Yamal, made the news earlier this year for reported indiscipline when on duty with the Spanish U-17 setup. His antics led to him subsequently dropping out of the national team and being sanctioned by the club.

According to reports from Ivan San Antonio of SPORT, there are no complaints at Barcelona surrounding Yamal. They understand that his indiscipline with La Roja was purely out of immaturity.

The starlet’s attitude with his teammates and coaches in La Masia is positive. He pays attention to the learnings and is never conflictive. Needless to say, the club believe he will get his chance with Spain again and are not concerned with the sanction.

Immediately after the incident with the national setup, Barcelona banned the star for four games at Juvenil A in an attempt to reprimand him. Yamal has come out positively since and is now again in the club’s good books.

The youngster is known for his dribbling, good quality on the ball, and calmness in front of the goal.

At just 15 years of age, Yamal is seen as one of the players in the academy with the brightest future. Such is his influence at the lower levels that there are reports he could be given a first-team debut this season itself.

The Catalans have already made contact with his new agent, Jorge Mendes, over their desire to offer the player his first professional contract in July at the age of 16. Moreover, he has already been training under Xavi’s direct command in recent days.
