Lamine Yamal has made his feelings clear, there’s no future for him in white.
The Barcelona wonderkid firmly dismissed any possibility of joining rivals Real Madrid, stating: “Will I ever play for Real Madrid? No. It’s impossible.”
While no rumours had linked him to the Bernabeu, his statement puts an early end to any future speculation. Yamal, just 17, is enjoying a breakout season that has catapulted him into Ballon d’Or conversations. His 43 goal contributions have not only powered Barcelona to a domestic treble, but also won him the hearts of fans across Spain.
Once a family split by football loyalties, his father formerly supported Madrid, the Yamals are now united behind the Blaugrana badge, especially following Lamine’s contract extension with the Catalan club.
Lauded by both teammates and pundits, the young star was a key figure in Barcelona’s league-winning campaign. With maturity beyond his years and dazzling displays on the pitch, Yamal has already become a symbol of the club’s bright future.
