In a shocking revelation that has shaken the world of football, Jesse Lingard, former Manchester United player, has shared a recent conversation with the young star of FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal. According to Lingard, the 17 -year -old prodigy expressed his desire to join Manchester United, stating that this is the ideal time to sign it before its value is triggered or captured by other clubs. “This is the right time to sign it before he becomes too expensive or goes to other clubs. He told me that he wants to join Manchester United,” Lingard revealed, unleashing speculations about the future of the talented extreme.
Yamal, considered one of the greatest prospects of world football, has shone in the League and with the Spanish team, standing out for its speed, dribbling and game vision despite its young age. His meteoric ascent has made him a Barcelona pillar, but Lingard’s words suggest that the young man could be considering a surprising change. Manchester United, which seeks to revitalize its template under the direction of Erik Ten Hag, would see in Yamal an ideal incorporation to reinforce its attack, especially after an irregular start in the Premier League 2024/25.
Lingard’s statement arrives at a delicate time for Barcelona, which faces financial challenges and pressures to retain its stars. Yamal, with a contract until 2026, has a termination clause estimated at 1,000 million euros, but a specific interest of United could complicate things, especially if the player has expressed his desire to leave. Culés fans have reacted with concern on social networks, with one commenting: “Yamal to United? This cannot be true!”
Although there is no official confirmation of negotiations, Lingard’s words have turned on rumors. Manchester United, which competes with clubs such as Arsenal, which recently signed players like Nico Williams and Alexander Isak, could be preparing a bold offer. For his part, Xavi Hernández, Barcelona coach, has reiterated his commitment to Yamal, stating: “Lamine is the future of this club, and we will do everything possible to stay.”
With the signing market in full boiling, Yamal’s possible exit would be a blow to Barcelona and a triumph for United. For now, football is looking forward to the next chapter of this saga, while Yamal continues to dazzle in the field.
