Barcelona already has one of the most desired players in the market in its hands, according to several media outlets the blaugrana club has reached a full agreement with the forward. The player, who has shined at the Euros and at Athletic Club, has held advanced talks, discussions that had been ongoing for weeks, and have ended satisfactorily for both parties. All that's left is to free up the necessary space in the financial fair play and execute his release clause.
The player has already given his final "yes" to Joan Laporta and Deco, and in the locker room, the news has been received with enthusiasm. Especially by Lamine Yamal, who has been one of the main supporters of this deal. The blaugrana academy graduate considered the arrival of a winger partner who would allow him to free up his game and gain imbalance on the left quite a priority, and he has achieved it.
The new signing will sign a contract until 2029 and his arrival will be made official as soon as Barça completes at least one major sale, the clause is €58 million. No other option is being considered, and the club is optimistic and believes they will be able to announce the deal in the coming weeks. His entourage is already looking for a house in the Catalan capital.
Barça gets its way
The addition of this footballer is a statement for Hansi Flick's project, as the new blaugrana coach wanted to strengthen the attack with a very specific profile. A pure winger, young, fast, and with dribbling skills, who fits perfectly with the style the German coach wants to implement. High pressing, quick transitions, and offensive width, Lamine Yamal has won the internal battle for the left wing.
Barça explored other names, such as Luis Díaz or Dani Olmo, but no option was as convincing as the Spanish international. His youth, growth, and potential for increased value have been key to speeding up the agreement. The decision had been made before the tournament, and his great performance in Germany has only served to confirm the obvious.
Deco takes him
The good relationship between Barça and his representation agency and Deco's discreet work have been essential. The club has managed to move quickly in a competitive market, even though there was interest from Chelsea and Arsenal. Even from several German clubs, but the footballer always prioritizes wearing Barça's jersey, and he is clear that he wants to grow alongside Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Cubarsi, and company.
With this deal, Barça secures a duo for the future and the present, two wingers who are unbalancing, complementary, and hungry for titles. The goal was not only to sign talent, but to surround Lamine Yamal with the ideal profiles for his development. It has been achieved, the 16-year-old is delighted with the arrival of who will be his new partner in attack.
