A promise from Xavi that blocked Lamine Yamal’s signing for PSG

Former FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández played a crucial role in keeping Lamine Yamal from leaving the club to join Paris Saint Germain when he was just 16 years old.

Lamine Yamal has become one of the biggest sensations in world football.

A sensational performer every time he pulls on the shirt of FC Barcelona or the Spanish national team.

The winger has a sensational present and a brilliant future that the Barça fans will enjoy.

However, the 17-year-old forward’s career could have taken a different path.

According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Xavi Hernández intervened to prevent the player from moving to Paris Saint Germain at the age of 15.

Yamal was set to sign his first professional contract at 16, and PSG was keen to lure him away, promising financial incentives and suggesting that his future would be better in France.

Nevertheless, Xavi Hernandez assured him that if he chose to renew his contract with FC Barcelona, he would be given the chance to debut and make his mark on the team as soon as possible.

This decision undoubtedly altered the course of the young European champion’s career.
