Lamine Yamal Welcomes Marcus Rashford on Social Media: A New Duo Brewing at Barcelona?

Marcus Rashford hadn’t even unpacked, and he already got a warm welcome in Barcelona — and not from just anyone. Lamine Yamal, Barça’s brightest gem, opened the door on social media. Is this the start of a new duo?

Rashford lands in Barça… and Lamine’s already watching

Marcus Rashford is officially in Barcelona, and it didn’t take long for the first sign of chemistry to show up. On Instagram, the English striker posted shots of his private jet arrival — and right there in the comments was Lamine Yamal, leaving a heart-hand emoji as a welcome gesture. The locker room is ready for him.

A gesture that says a lot

At just 16, Lamine is not only the future of FC Barcelona — he’s already one of its most beloved players. His reaction to Rashford’s arrival suggests there's early chemistry before they even share the pitch. A subtle but powerful sign that has fans dreaming of a potential connection between the two.

Gearing up for his big debut

Meanwhile, Rashford is entering a crucial week. He’ll undergo his medical on Monday and start training under Hansi Flick before his official unveiling on Wednesday. He joins on loan from Manchester United, with a €30M buy option — a strategic move to boost Barça’s attack.
