Lamine Yamal clear and forceful after beating Madrid: 'I don't want him to leave Barça'

The forward makes a drastic decision and communicates it to the club to avoid a major sale in the summer

Lamine Yamal already knows who he wants as his ideal partner in Barcelona's forward line for next season. The young Barcelona talent, one of the great gems of the youth academy, has hinted at his desire to continue sharing minutes with Ferran Torres. The Catalan footballer feels especially comfortable with the Valencian, both on and off the field.

It is no coincidence that when they share the attack, offensive plays flow more naturally. The chemistry between both players is very evident, and Lamine himself considers Ferran to be the perfect complement to his vertical, explosive, and dynamic soccer. The 17-year-old winger knows he needs an striker by his side who understands spaces, works without the ball, and is effective in front of the goal.

That's why, in the locker room, the young talent's desire is already circulating: for the club to bet on keeping Ferran Torres in the sports project.  Lamine wants to continue growing alongside a player who, quietly, has been one of the most productive on the team this season. The footballer from Mataró has been clear with Joan Laporta and Deco, he doesn't want the Valencian to leave the club next season.

his best season as a professional

Ferran Torres has had a remarkable season, surpassing 20 goals despite not having many regular starts, every time he has had minutes, he has replied. Without making noise, without controversies or unfortunate statements. An exemplary professional who has understood his role and has contributed whenever needed.

His involvement hasn't gone unnoticed by the locker room heavyweights. Nor by the younger players, like Lamine, who see him as a reference and a partner on the field. Ferran has been key in several important matches, and his connection with the Catalan winger could be one of Barça's great offensive assets in 2025-26.

he doesn't consider leaving Barcelona

Despite the rumors placing him outside the club, Ferran Torres doesn't consider leaving.  He has a contract, feels valued by his teammates, and believes he can still give much more wearing the Barcelona jersey. His goal is to keep competing, fighting for a spot, and proving he can be important, the Shark doesn't see himself outside the Barcelona club, at least in the very short term.

From Lamine's camp, they insist that the young player is delighted to share the locker room with Ferran. He considers him someone close, who has helped him adapt to the first team and with whom he has created a special bond. Barça can't waste that natural connection between two players who understand each other almost without speaking.

In terms of sports planning, the board will have to make important decisions this summer. Several strikers could leave the club, but keeping Ferran would be a clear message of trust in the current squad. And, above all, a way to shield Lamine with footballers who enhance his talent, Lamine Yamal has already spoken about the future he desires, with Ferran as his partner in attack.
