With Nico Williams signing a new contract at Athletic Club and Liverpool rejecting interest in Diaz, Barcelona have shifted full focus to Rashford. What did Barcelona star Lamine Yamal say to his former teammate before his departure?

FC Barcelona have reportedly decided to ‘activated Plan B’ after missing out on Nico Williams, with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford among three options. Earlier this week, Barcelona were dealt a huge transfer blow as Spain international Williams pulled out of a move to the Spanish giants and signed a long-term contract extension at Athletic Bilbao.

Marcus Rashford, Gabriel Martinelli, Joshua Zirkzee, Viktor Gyökeres and Luis Díaz are among the big names in the transfer gossip.
