Wednesday 24-12-2025
The Spanish newspaper "Sport" revealed that Barcelona club president Joan Laporta plans to travel to Dubai at the end of this week to attend the annual awards ceremony, which will honor the young star Lamine Yamal, as well as the Barcelona women's team.

According to the newspaper, Laporta will travel accompanied by Xavi Puig, a board member responsible for the women's team. The ceremony will take place on Sunday, and the Barcelona delegation will return the same night so that Lamine Yamal can be present when the team resumes training.

The newspaper explained that Laporta, who attended the same event last year, plans to hold a meeting with the famous agent Jorge Mendes, who has direct influence in organizing these awards, at an important time in the transfer market.

The newspaper added that Barcelona is considering signing a defender to compensate for the absence of Andreas Christensen. Although this meeting may open the door to potential moves, the final decision is still under review by sporting director Deco, in coordination with head coach Hans Flick, based on the available options.

The report indicated that Lamin Yamal has actually been in Dubai for several days on vacation, following a year that confirmed his status as one of the best football players in the world.
