For Lamine Yamal it has become the usual tonic to start the matches as a substitute . Although in the first weeks of the season he was able to have minutes and play as a starter in several games, he has completely disappeared from Barça’s lineups. And it’s not even the first solution coming in as repulsive. Against UD Las Palmas, Xavi Hernández decided to leave Joao Félix on the bench, but before that he preferred to trust Ferran Torres and Raphinha to occupy the wings.
It is logical that the winger, who is only 16 years old, is not comfortable with the role he has adopted in the squad. He believes that he does not deserve to have such a secondary role, and that he has made merit to be able to have more continuity. But he does not seem to have the confidence of the coaching staff, who have not given him any explanation about this. And his anger is more than obvious, which is why he has conveyed to Jorge Mendes his intention to leave in the summer if things do not change.
If he continues to be left out of the starting eleven for the next few months, and if Joan Laporta and Deco bring in another attacker in the next market, he will quickly request that the doors be opened for him. He does not want to put his progression at risk, and seeing that at the Camp Nou they cannot promise him that he will be a permanent fixture, he prefers to pack his bags. He is not happy, and he knows that there will be no shortage of offers to leave, either through a transfer or through a transfer.
And the option that has now gained strength is that he goes out on loan to be able to continue to accumulate experience in the elite. In this sense, there are already two La Liga EA Sports entities that have positioned themselves to host Yamal temporarily. The first is Villarreal, which is experiencing a crisis of results. Marcelino García Toral would be delighted to have the Spanish international in his ranks, and would wait until the summer.
If there is any option to be able to sign him with immediate effect, the ‘groguets’ will not think twice, but they know that Barça will not negotiate. So they don’t have any problem to hold out for a few more months either.
The other team that has inquired about Lamine’s availability is Betis, who have done multiple deals with Barça in recent years. And now they could meet again, this time to discuss a possible loan of the Spanish-Moroccan pearl, which Manuel Pellegrini likes very much.
Yamal will say goodbye to Xavi at the end of the year, as long as he no longer has a presence in his schemes.
