Lamine Yamal's reaction to the signing of former Manchester United player Marcus Rashford made headlines ahead of the anticipated pair up between the two wingers this season.
Rashford arrived in Barcelona on Sunday evening, preparing to officially join the team on a season-long loan with an option to buy in June 2026 for €30 million.
Marcus Rashford posted several photos on his official Instagram account documenting his departure from Manchester on a private plane before arriving at Barcelona's El Prat Airport to join the Catalan team's training.
Lamine Yamal quickly responded to his teammate's post, leaving a comment with an emoji expressing his warm welcome to Rashford's arrival, clearly indicating his happiness at signing the English player.
Rashford's arrival comes at a time when Flick is seeking to bolster his bench with players capable of making a difference when needed, especially on the attacking wingers. The agreement includes a final purchase option for between €30 and €35 million, which can be exercised in June 2026.
