Barcelona‘s young midfielder, Gavi, has expressed his views on the recent transfer of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, highlighting the importance of the speed and skill of Lamine Yamal in the upcoming matches. Gavi, who is also a member of the Spanish national team, made these comments during an interview with RAC1.
According to Gavi, the rivalry is intensifying as Real Madrid prepares for confrontations with Barcelona, and the addition of Cucurella underscores the threat posed by Yamal. “Los Blancos have been changing their full-backs a lot lately! That’s what happens when Lamine Yamal plays for Barça. He’s the best. Now they’ve signed Cucurella to stop Lamine—a strong opponent, a good player, I like that,” Gavi stated.
Cucurella’s transfer from Chelsea to Real Madrid, reported at €55 million, adds a layer of strategy to the matches between the two Spanish giants. With the new season approaching, both teams are gearing up for what promises to be a competitive series of games.
