Yamal and Williams became close friends and teammates with Spain’s victory at Euro 2024. The two wingers were spectacular for Spain, and Barcelona attempted to reunite them at club level, but the plan collapsed as Williams opted to stay at Athletic Club.
Speaking with El Horminguero, Yamal said: “I would like to play with him every week, I hope so, but he is now at Athletic.
“We like the same things, the same music, we watch dances on TikTok… I like reggaeton, French music, Brazilian…”
Yamal has been very successful with Barcelona this season while Williams has struggled so far. The Catalan side also signed Dani Olmo and Hansi Flick is now looking to reintegrate Ansu Fati into the side, if the two succeed this season, it is possible that they may not sign the Athletic Club winger.
The Spaniard will likely be a starter for Barcelona when they take on fellow Catalan side Girona in La Liga on Sunday afternoon at the Montilivi.
