🇪🇸🔥 Lamine Yamal Throws Playful Jab at Nico Williams Amid Spain Duties!
As Spain gears up for a blockbuster UEFA Nations League semifinal clash against France, 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal has once again captured the headlines — this time with a cheeky remark about his national teammate Nico Williams.
🎙️ In an interview, when asked if he’d like to link up with Nico more often at club level, Yamal jokingly replied:
> “That’s enough for me, it’s enough (national level).” 😅
When pressed further, he doubled down:
“Yeah, I can’t handle more of him than that! This way is better.” 😂
While light-hearted in tone, the comment comes at an interesting time…
🔄 Barcelona were previously locked in on signing Nico Williams, but:
He opted to stay at Athletic Club,
His €60M+ release clause proved too costly,
And Barça’s sporting department eventually prioritized Dani Olmo, citing greater tactical versatility and smoother dressing room integration.
💡 Internal disagreements at the club also complicated the Williams pursuit — some in the hierarchy feared his personality and style wouldn’t mesh well with the squad dynamic.
Now, Yamal’s joke — likely made in good spirits — has only added more intrigue to what could have been a powerful Barça partnership on the wing.
👀 As Spain takes on France, all eyes will be on Yamal and Nico to deliver on the pitch, regardless of what the f
uture holds at club level.
