Deko: Yamal will renew his contract and create history This season, only a slight gap is out of the Champions League

May 14th News Barcelona sports director Deko said in an interview with ESPN that he expects Yamal to renew his contract with the club and become the historical creator of this generation of young players.

"Players have to be happy where they are, but in my opinion there is no better place for Yamal than here." When asked about Yamal's contract, Deco told ESPN, "This kid grew up here and he's the guy here. This generation of players has the opportunity to make history. If I were on his side, I would want to stay here and be a part of it. I don't think there is any problem, especially since he has a contract (until 2026), and the renewal will eventually happen."

"I don't think anyone would want to leave this team because the atmosphere is great and they have fun. We have renewed the contract for most players and now we need to take care of the remaining players. I said last year that we can't lose anyone, and I think now is too Same. If we can improve the roster, it's always an option, but the key is to consolidate what we have now and prepare for the years to come. Suddenly, we feel very dependent on Rafinia and Yamal. Maybe we need similar players to offer solutions when they are not there. But the team is quite balanced and we still have a lot of good young players growing. "

" At the beginning of the season, with the changes we made, our goal is to compete for the championship. Competition means competing with top teams. This season has exceeded expectations slightly because we competed against strong Real Madrid and were only because of a tiny gap to reach the Champions League final. We can still compete in all the events at the end of the season, and that's what we're aiming. We've won the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. "
