De la Fuente has been asked about the speculation and didn’t really want to get into it but did say he thinks Williams has a great future ahead of him.
> “Another genius. We’ll see what happens; it’s just football,” he told Marca.

> “But Nico is another player who will make history and become a legend. It’s an honor to have such young and talented players.

> “They also bring us a lot of joy, and I wish them the best of luck both personally and professionally. “
The Spain boss also had more words of praise for Yamal and says Barcelona’s teenager is improving rapidly.
> “He’s definitely growing at an impressive level. I repeat: he’ll be a legend. He undoubtedly has to improve in some areas,” he added.

> “We have to take care of him, but he’s growing a lot, and he should be aware that his teammates on the national team and at club level are the ones who will help him become a legend. He’s a sensational kid.”
Yamal and Williams are currently enjoying some time off but may be back together soon, either with Barcelona or in September with Spain.
