At the age of 39, Cristiano Ronaldo is still making headlines with his impressive goal-scoring abilities for Al Nassr. His agent, Jorge Mendes, believes that there is no one who can compare to his "unique" client. However, Mendes also acknowledges the immense talent of 17-year-old Lamine Yamal from Barcelona, who has the potential to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps.
Despite his young age, Yamal has already achieved great success in his career, winning La Liga and the European Championship with Spain last summer. He has also been a regular member of Barcelona's first team, scoring seven goals last season and six so far in the current campaign. Unfortunately, he has been dealing with an ankle injury that has affected his performance.
But Mendes, who also represents Yamal, has high hopes for the young player. He believes that Yamal has the talent and potential to reach the same heights as Ronaldo, who is widely considered the best player in history. "If there is someone who can be like him, it would be Lamine Yamal in the future," Mendes said. "He has the most talent and potential to do great things in the sport."
There is a lot of expectation surrounding Yamal, and Mendes believes that he has what it takes to win multiple Ballon d'Or awards in the future. He also confirms that Yamal will be staying with Barcelona for a long time, as he is set to renew his contract with the club.
Speaking of contracts, Yamal's current deal with Barcelona runs until 2026, so there is no need to worry about that aspect. However, his ankle injury is a more pressing issue. It has been reported that he could be out of action for about a month, but the prognosis is uncertain. According to specialist surgeon Dr. Pedro Luis Ripoll, it is not a typical sprain, but a more serious injury called syndesmosis, which could lead to further complications if not treated properly.
Dr. Ripoll advises that Barcelona should allow Yamal enough time to fully recover from his injury, as rushing him back onto the field could result in a diastasis, which is the separation of the tibia and fibula. This could leave the ankle in an unstable state, which could affect Yamal's performance in the long run. So, it is important for the club to prioritize his health and well-being over rushing him back onto the field.
