Bojan Krkic's return to Barcelona will be key to Lamine Yamal's development.
That's the opinion of Enric Masip, who acts as an advisor to Barca president Joan Laporta.
Bojan has been named loan manager at Barca, while he will also work as a support for the club's young players.
Masip told Marca: "One of the people who will become part of the organisation chart, Bojan, will be the link between youth football and the first team.
"This type of player (Yamal) must be educated and looked after at La Masa so as not to burn them out"
He also revealed: "Laporta wanted (Lionel) Messi's return. When this option arose, he did everything to make it happen. He preferred to go to MLS for his life project."
