Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes has advised promising Barcelona midfielder Lamine Yamal to look up to Cristiano Ronaldo as a role model in his football career.
Jorge Mendes, who is known for representing some of the biggest names in the sport, highlighted Ronaldo’s influence and success as a benchmark for young athletes.
Yamal, who at just 17 years old has already made a significant impact both at FC Barcelona and with the Spanish national team, has been displaying extraordinary talent throughout the current season.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, leading to him winning the prestigious 2024 Golden Boy award, which recognizes the best young football player in the world.
In an interview with Tuttosport, Mendes expressed his admiration for Ronaldo’s work ethic and professionalism, saying, “I don’t like to make comparisons, but without a doubt, Cristiano is a good example to follow, not only for Lamine but for all young people.”
He emphasized that if Yamal can emulate Ronaldo’s dedication and conduct both on and off the pitch, he has the potential to become a top player in global football over the next two decades.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently 39 years old, has had a storied career, winning five Ballon d’Or awards, which acknowledge him as one of the best footballers in history.
Currently, the Portuguese football legend is playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia after an unexciting second spell at Manchester United.
