FC Barcelona Sporting Director, Deco, has claimed that there is no better club in the world for star attacker Lamine Yamal than the Catalans.
The La Liga champions have been a joy to watch in the 2024/25 football season.
In their league-winning campaign, Lamine Yamal has been a sensation with his performances, starring in several matches to lead the team to victory.
Heading into the off-season, the Spanish attacker with Moroccan descent is reportedly pushing to become the highest-paid player at FC Barcelona through his agents.
Reacting to this, Deco has stated that it does not matter whether Lamine Yamal is made the highest-paid player at the club or not.
He insists that what matters is the happiness of the player. Speaking to RAC1, Deco said he believes a pay rise is in order, adding that Barcelona is the best club for the teenage sensation.
“The extension with Lamine is going well. He deserves the pay rise. A player at this level has to be happy. For me, it doesn’t matter whether he’s 17 or 26 – football has to be fair. He should get the contract he deserves,” he told RAC1.
Deco added, Deco added: “It’s not about being the highest paid. What matters is that he’s happy. And I think there’s no better club for him than Barça.”
