Hi Koora: Jorge Mendes, the famous agent, recently spoke with Tuttosport, pointing out the great potential of Lamine Yamal, the young Barcelona winger.
The newspaper chose Lamine as the best young talent of 2024, and asked him whether the young player could reach the level of the star Cristiano Ronaldo, who is considered one of the most prominent players represented by Mendes.
Mendes avoided direct comparisons between Lamine and Cristiano, but explained that the latter is considered a “role model” and could inspire Lamine to achieve global success and be able to win the Ballon d’Or in the coming years.
Jorge Mendes explained: “Cristiano is not only a great example for Lamine, but for all young people. If Lamine follows Cristiano’s example on and off the field, he will be at the top of the world over the next two decades. His talent is amazing, he surpasses everyone, and he is only 17 years old!” “If he stays focused, I’m sure he will win the Ballon d’Or more than once.”
Tuttosport will organize a special ceremony to award the Young Ballon d’Or in Turin on Monday, December 16, but Barcelona will not participate in the event.
The club had asked the newspaper for a private flight to transport the delegation, but Tuttosport only offered a regular flight.
After the ceremony ended, Turin Airport would be closed, which would have forced the delegation to spend an additional night in Italy, something the club would have preferred to avoid.
Also, players Vicky Lopez, winner of the Best Under-21 Player Award in Europe, and Aitana Bonmatti, who was crowned Best Player in the World, will be absent due to the upcoming Champions League match against Manchester City, which will take place on Wednesday, December 18, at the Stade Olympique Luis Stadium.
