"First, in the construction phase we are in, we have a player for the same position and with similar characteristics called Lamine Yamal. It's obvious," he told TNT Sports. "Can they play together? Yes, great players always adapt. The problem is that our priorities were not to reinforce that position. If you have money to spend and you invest it in a player with the same characteristics, then you can't complain that there is a lack of players for other positions."
"It's a matter of time and timing for Barcelona, who had to make other decisions and this was not one of them."
Barcelona is in a construction phase and currently has Lamine Yamal occupying the relevant position with similar characteristics. Great players can adapt and could potentially play together, but the club prioritized reinforcing different areas of the squad. Financial resources were allocated to other needs, and spending on a player with the same profile would have reduced ability to address other positions. Timing and broader squad balance were decisive factors in the decision-making. The club chose to make other transfers rather than sign someone mirroring Yamal's attributes at this time.
