Confirmed, swap deal canceled with Betis: Lamine Yamal forces Deco, he stays

Lamine Yamal cancels a swap between Barça and Betis, and Deco has already confirmed everything

There's no need to show that Lamine Yamal is the great star of Barça under Flick: he has major sponsors and has become the most desired culer attraction at 18 years old. The influence of Lamine Yamal inside Barça's locker room is enormous and, as if that weren't enough, now he's also starting to pull strings within the club managed by Deco. In this regard, Lamine Yamal would have already canceled a swap deal between Barça and Betis, since he wants his best friend to stay in Barcelona and remain at Barça.

Barça and Betis had a swap deal very close for the next transfer window, but Lamine Yamal took care of canceling it and Deco has had to accept it definitively. Lamine Yamal is the great star of Barça and the guidelines for Deco are very clear: Barça's new "10" has the power to make and unmake practically as he wishes. Within the culer club, there are differing opinions, but what is clear is that Deco and Laporta have a single mission: for Yamal to be comfortable and to stay in Barcelona.

Betis and Barça were making progress on the transfer of one of Lamine Yamal's best friends, who plays for Barça's reserve team. However, Lamine Yamal has stepped in to cancel it immediately: he wants his great friend, who plays for Barça Atlètic under Belletti, to stay at the club and have opportunities. Deco already confirms it: he has had no choice but to accept the "proposal" from a Lamine Yamal who, with total certainty, will be out for the Champions League match against Newcastle.

Lamine Yamal's influence and weight in Barça's decisions are growing, even though some board members believe it's not positive for the institution. Proof of this is the latest move by Deco, who had a deal between Barça and Betis very close, set for the upcoming transfer window. Deco had finalized a swap deal between Barça and Betis, but Lamine Yamal has decided to cancel it, since the affected party is one of his best friends, with whom he coincided at La Masia.

Barça was making progress to finalize a swap deal, but Deco had to cancel it after talking with Lamine Yamal, who is increasingly influential in the club's decisions. The fact is that Barça had a move ready for the transfer window, but it was canceled at the express request of Lamine Yamal, Barça's "10".

Barça had the transfer of reserve team player Brian Fariñas ready, who was developed at La Masia and this year is part of the squad led by Juliano Belletti. Brian Fariñas renewed with Barça until 2028, but Betis had inquired about the player and Deco was starting to take action, although everything has been stopped by Lamine Yamal.

Lamine Yamal has a great relationship with Fariñas: both were seen the other day at the Johan Cruyff for the match between Barça and Valencia in LaLiga EA Sports. Barça wasn't counting on Fariñas, but Lamine Yamal wants him to stay at Barça and Deco has accepted: goodbye to Betis after talking with Barça's "10".
