Fabrizio Romano reveals the signing Lamine Yamal has requested: 'He wants him by his side'

The forward has gained significant importance at Barça this year and is loudly demanding a signing: Fabrizio confirms it

Fabrizio Romano is one of the most influential people in current soccer and his leaks are almost always accurate. Barça is in a period of restructuring and news about important topics is constantly coming out. The financial situation has improved and more and more signings are being rumored.

Barça has closed out a great year in sporting terms and all you have to do is review Flick's record. The German has brought out the best in all the footballers and Lamine Yamal has been one of those who has gained the most prominence. The young academy player is demanding a signing and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed it through a video.

Lamine Yamal's moment

Lamine Yamal appeared a couple of seasons ago as a personal bet by Xavi Hernández, but he went quite unnoticed due to his few appearances. Last season, the Spaniard established himself as a starter and young prospect and his performance kept rising throughout the year. The European Championship made it clear that he is a forward destined to define an era and since then the top clubs in Europe have followed him everywhere.

This year, Lamine Yamal is the clear candidate to win the Ballon d'Or and the only thing he still has pending is the Champions League. After a great year, the winger has earned the respect of all soccer fans and is acclaimed in most stadiums. Now, Lamine has told the club that he wants to be able to count on one of his best friends in the team.

Fabrizio Romano has announced through a video that Lamine Yamal is between Nico Williams and Barça and has been key in bringing both sides closer together. If Nico ends up coming to the Catalan capital, it can be said that, in part, it will be thanks to the current culé. If the Catalans sign him, they will make a huge leap in quality.

Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, head to head

Nico Williams has gone through a tough year and hasn't particularly shined with his team, Athletic Club. However, with the National Team he has performed at a high level, which proves that the problem isn't him. Alongside Lamine Yamal, both forwards would raise their level, so Barça's board will have to think very carefully about what to do.
