Barcelona retains Lamine Yamal on the right flank for upcoming season

Barcelona’s coaching staff, under Hansi Flick, plans to keep Lamine Yamal primarily on the right flank instead of utilizing him as a false nine. Although Yamal has expressed interest in playing centrally in the future, there’s no immediate shift anticipated. The addition of attackers like Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi is expected to provide support for Yamal’s development on the right side. The club aims to enhance Yamal's ability to exploit spaces created by these new teammates as they reinforce the team’s attacking structure. Barcelona may also pursue a deal for Julian Alvarez to further strengthen their frontline.
