Lamine Yamal

Lamine Yamal's agent, Jorge Mendes, spoke out this Friday to discuss the health and well-being of his client.

For several weeks now, Lamine Yamal has been at the center of heated debates due to off-the-pitch stories. Speaking to Mundo Deportivo this Friday, the Spanish international's agent, Jorge Mendes, stepped up to defend the Spanish prodigy.

"I don't understand all this noise around Lamine Yamal. We've all been 18 and young once. As President Laporta said, it's important to support him and help him as much as possible, because he is a tremendous asset for the club. Lamine is the player everyone is talking about worldwide—everyone agrees he's the footballer of both the present and the future. Having the world's eyes on you brings great responsibility and immense pressure. He's handling it brilliantly and we need to keep supporting him, especially by making sure he stays focused solely on his football," the Portuguese businessman explained.
