πͺπΈπ₯ 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 β this time with a cheeky remark about his national teammate Nico Williams.
ποΈ In an interview, when asked if heβd like to link up with Nico more often at club level, Yamal jokingly replied:
> “Thatβs enough for me, itβs enough (national level).” π
When pressed further, he doubled down:
“Yeah, I canβt handle more of him than that! This way is better.” π
While light-hearted in tone, the comment comes at an interesting timeβ¦
π Barcelona were previously locked in on signing Nico Williams, but:
He opted to stay at Athletic Club,
His β¬60M+ release clause proved too costly,
And BarΓ§aβs sporting department eventually prioritized Dani Olmo, citing greater tactical versatility and smoother dressing room integration.
π‘ Internal disagreements at the club also complicated the Williams pursuit β some in the hierarchy feared his personality and style wouldnβt mesh well with the squad dynamic.
Now, Yamalβs joke β likely made in good spirits β has only added more intrigue to what could have been a powerful BarΓ§a partnership on the wing.
π 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.
