Disgraced former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell believes he deserves some credit for bringing Lamine Yamal to the club.
"I'm proud to say I was the president to sign Lamine Yamal," Rosell says in an interview.
"I signed his first contract with La Masia when he was 7 years old he joined Barcelona. And look at him now, what a crazy player."
Rosell's statement gives off Messi-esque vibes, with everyone claiming to have a hand in bringing him to Barcelona.
Back in 2006, Rosell was jailed for 20 months over a money laundering scandal.
He was later released on bail and subsequently acquitted due to lack of evidence. He again stood trial in Spain for irregularities surrounding Neymar's transfer from Santos to Barca.
