It can be argued that Lamine Yamal is the most influential footballer in the world right now
Barca haven’t won when he hasn’t started
Tonight he was back & had a magical foot in 3 goals.
Up there with Mo Salah… but he’s only 17!

Tough one for the LFC decision makers
Fully deserves contract with his immense influence right now
But what if he insists on 3 yr, not 2, with a rise every year? He’ll be close to 36 & highest earner
His “people” could point to Modric & Ronaldo still going strong
VVD & TAA would want same terms
