Yamal's Barcelona team-mate also claimed the 17-year-old has access to "anything he wants". </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Raphinha said: "He asked me if I was going to text Neymar, if he was going to reply. And I told him of course he's going to reply. I think with the level he's reached, he has access to anything he wants or anyone, even Neymar Jr. It's no coincidence the two of them were together."</p>

WHAT RAPHINHA SAID

<p>Yamal has scored 25 goals and assisted 34 since breaking into the Barcelona first team, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-wonderkid-lamine-yamal-ballon-d-or-backing-real-madrid-legends-luis-figo-sami-khedira/blta28fb0806f0d5636" target="_blank">emerging as arguably one of the best players on the planet aged just 17</a>. He looks set to make at least as big a success of his Barca career as Neymar, who spent four years with the club between 2013-2017.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yamal is enjoying the first proper break of his senior career, before joining up with Barcelona for their pre-season tour to Japan and South Korea. </p>
