FC Barcelona comes out of silence for Lamine Yamal, the choice of Xavi panics Catalonia

Barça closes the door for Yamal

Soon deserted by the departure of Kylian Mbappé this summer, Paris Saint-Germain is already planning to replace its star and is making Lamine Yamal its priority for the next transfer window. For FC Barcelona, ​​there is no question of letting its nugget slip away. Sport reports that the 16-year-old winger “is not for sale” and “nothing will be negotiated“. The Spanish club was also aware of Parisian interest but quickly closed the door to negotiations. Lamine Yamal is therefore non-transferable, but he is not the only one since four other players from the club are also affected. This morning, Sport reveals the 5 names that Barça does not plan to sell this summer: Cubarsi, Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Pedri and Mika Faye. The sports management is therefore clear on the fact that the future project must be led by young people in the coming years.

Xavi will ultimately stay at Barça

The situation is complicated for FC Barcelona which should probably end its season without any trophy. Eliminated from the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, Barça will also let the title of Spanish champion slip away from Real Madrid. After a defeat (3-5) against Villarreal last January, Xavi announced his departure at the end of the season. The trend has quickly changed in recent days, since the Spaniard remains. “Se Queda» (he remains) put up the newspaper Sport on its front page this morning. Same story for A.S. And Mundo Deportivo which offer the same title on their first page. According to Mundo Deportivo : “the coach confirms his change of heart after announcing that he would leave in June. He has accepted the conditions of Laporta and Deco, and will continue until the end of his contract in 2025“. Barça’s Masia project can continue with Xavi.

Klopp lost everything with Liverpool

In the Mersey derby, it was Everton who emerged victorious at Goodison Park against Liverpool (2-0). This setback is far from anecdotal for Liverpool who are now three points behind the leader in the standings, Arsenal. For The Times : “Liverpool’s title dreams are in tatters.” For his part, the Daily Mirror reports that Jürgen Klopp’s men “have lost ground in the title race as Everton take a big step towards survival» in the Premier League. And finally, the day after this defeat, the Daily Mail slips a little tackle to Jürgen Klopp on his front page. The club still has four days to hope to win a title, knowing that Manchester City is two days behind. The title race is clearly not over.
