Report – Reason behind Barcelona rising superstar’s recent meeting with superagent

Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal continues to draw attention both on and off the pitch, with his recent meeting with super-agent Jorge Mendes sparking speculation across Spain.

While many assumed the meeting was related to future transfer plans, the reality was quite different and far more personal.

According to Catalunya Radio (via SPORT ), however, Mendes met with the 18-year-old star to advise him on minor habits that could be improved in the dressing room.

The conversation lasted nearly three hours and was focused entirely on Yamal’s development as a professional rather than contractual matters.

The meeting was organised in agreement with Barcelona sporting director Deco, who also joined Mendes after his talk with Yamal.

The intention was to remind the teenager of the importance of discipline and consistency, both of which are essential under Hansi Flick’s demanding coaching regime.

While there is no serious concern within the club, sources suggest there are small disciplinary details that could be refined.

Mendes’ role during the meeting was more paternal than professional, acting as a mentor who wants to guide Yamal towards maturity.

The young forward’s love for football is undeniable, but his youthful enthusiasm sometimes leads him to cross minor boundaries.

For instance, reports suggest Yamal occasionally plays late-night indoor football matches with friends.

Though harmless fun, such activities are seen by the club as unnecessary risks that could affect his performance or recovery. Mendes’ advice was to enjoy the game, but understand when to rest.

The Barcelona management remains fully supportive of Yamal. Flick, Deco, and Mendes are aligned in their goal while ensuring he remains grounded.

Mendes’ involvement shows just how seriously Barcelona are taking Yamal’s development.

In short, this was not a meeting about transfers or contracts. It was about shaping the mindset of a generational talent.

Barcelona see Yamal as a cornerstone for the club’s future, and every step is being taken to ensure that his growth continues both on and off the pitch.
