"Lamine Yamal, already one of the most important players in Hansi Flick's team despite his young age, has sent a strong signal about where his support lies ahead of the vote. The teenage winger shared a photo of himself alongside presidential candidate Joan Laporta on social media."
"During the campaign period, there had already been reports suggesting that many members of Barcelona's first team supported Laporta. Hansi Flick and several players were believed to favour his leadership, but until now, there had been no public images clearly linking the squad to the presidential candidate."
"Laporta's campaign has also seen support from several figures connected to the first team. Flick himself attended one of Laporta's campaign events together with sporting director Deco and club official Bojan Krkic. Meanwhile, former Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o has also publicly asked fans to vote for Laporta."
Barcelona faces a presidential election with Joan Laporta seeking reelection. Young star Lamine Yamal publicly endorsed Laporta by sharing a social media photo taken during his contract extension signing at the club's commercial office. This gesture holds significance as Yamal has become a standout figure in Hansi Flick's project despite his youth. Multiple first-team figures support Laporta, including manager Flick, sporting director Deco, and club official Bojan Krkic, who attended campaign events. Former Barcelona player Samuel Eto'o also publicly endorsed Laporta. First-team players eligible to vote will cast ballots after Barcelona's match against Sevilla during the election's final hours.
