Lamine Yamal has once again sent a clear message to FC Barcelona’s sporting management. The young Barça talent is excited about the prospect of seeing Nico Williams wearing the Blaugrana jersey next season. It’s no secret that the two have an excellent relationship both on and off the field.

Lamine’s desire isn’t new, but it’s gaining momentum as the summer transfer window approaches. There’s talk in the Barça locker room that the young star is pushing for Barça to make one last attempt to sign the Navarrese winger.

Despite Lamine Yamal’s insistence, FC Barcelona can’t make any moves without first reducing their salary bill. Those close to the player who trained at La Masía insist that he would like to share a dressing room with Nico, but understand that the club’s financial situation isn’t ideal.
