According to reports from El Nacional, Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal is seriously not feeling good about the club’s recent transfer move—especially the surprise arrival of Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United.
It was claimed that the 18-year-old Spain international feels misled during his contract renewal phase. Allegedly, Barça had assured him that Athletic Club’s Nico Williams was the only player they were targeting for the left wing.
But fast-forward to the present—omo, they brought in Rashford instead. Talk about a twist no one saw coming!
Yamal, who shares a solid connection with Nico Williams from their time together in the Spanish national team, was reportedly looking forward to forming a deadly duo with his friend at the club level too.
Now here’s where it gets painful — Barça initially promised to activate Williams’ €58 million release clause, but couldn’t follow through after Athletic Bilbao lodged a complaint against them to LaLiga. Instead of pushing harder, the Catalans reportedly settled for Rashford, leaving Yamal feeling sidelined.
And guess what? Bilbao didn’t waste time; they tied Williams down with a fresh 10-year deal until 2035.
Omo this is painful — not just for Yamal, but also for fans who wanted to see the Spain national team chemistry light up LaLiga.
Sources say Yamal is also not happy that he wasn’t informed before Rashford’s deal was sealed. He allegedly believes that the club could have done more to keep their promise and bring Williams to Camp Nou.
