Julián Álvarez generated the most speculation around Barcelona during the transfer window. The Argentine forward was considered a potential addition to strengthen the Blaugrana squad, but the deal ultimately failed to materialize and Álvarez did not join the Catalan club.
Lamine Yamal responds to Julián Álvarez speculation
Lamine Yamal was named the best footballer of last season at the AFE Gala after being selected by his fellow professionals as the outstanding player of the previous campaign.
The FC Barcelona star attracted attention at the event and spoke to the media before entering Florida Park’s main hall. Asked about the Argentine striker, Lamine highlighted Barcelona’s current form and attacking output.
“Right now we’re doing very well and it shows. We’re not lacking goals”, Lamine replied when he was asked about the Argentine striker.
The young Barça forward praised Álvarez but quickly made clear that he remains satisfied with Barcelona’s existing squad.
“Obviously he is a great player, but I am very happy with the squad we have,” added the Barça player during the AFE Awards Gala, where he received recognition as the best LaLiga player chosen by his teammates.
Barcelona aiming to win every competition
Lamine was also asked about the debate surrounding the attacking strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, he avoided making a direct comparison between the two teams’ forward lines.
The priority for Lamine and his teammates is captured by the phrase “We want to win everything”, which reflects Barcelona’s ambition for the season.
Julián Álvarez remains one of the key names associated with Barcelona’s transfer activity. However, Lamine Yamal made it clear that while he recognizes the Argentine’s outstanding quality, he has complete confidence in the players already at his disposal.
