Signing a contract with Jorge Mendes
Redwan said Yamal later chose to contract with famed players’ agent Jorge Mendes, a friend of Redwan’s, instead of the Moroccan producer’s nephew, who was also a candidate to take over as director of his company.
This decision was taken after a period of hesitation, especially since De La Peña, close to FC Barcelona, was one of the options presented.
Over time, Lamine Yamal became a shining star at FC Barcelona, which increased the Spanish club’s interest in him and influenced his sports career towards international play for Spain, becoming one of the young most prominent faces in Spanish football.
