Barcelona's board of directors don't want to risk their top stars. The blaugranas management has hired personal security for prodigy, Lamine Yamal.
Details: After the unfortunate attack on Yamal's father, the club has decided to beef up the 17-year-old player's security.
According to Relevo, Barça have approved the implementation of a “covert counter-surveillance service” for Lamine following the horrific attack suffered by his father on August 14 in Mataro. From now on, the 17-year-old winger will have a personal escort wherever he goes, given his growing popularity and global star status after winning the European Cup.
The family of the talented footballer has approved this preventive measure, realizing that it is better for their safety.
Recall: 38-year-old Mounir Nasraoui, Lamine's father, was clipped near his home. He suffered serious injuries to his abdomen and chest as a result of the attack. Fortunately, Yamal's father recovered from the attack, for which four people linked to the crime family have been arrested.
A version that has gained momentum in recent days points to a settling of scores over the player's decision to wear a Spanish shirt instead of a Moroccan one.
