Atletico Madrid posted on social media that they sent a fax to Barcelona containing their transfer offer for Lamine Yamal. The offer consisted of 4 tickets for the Bad Bunny concert, an annual ABC newspaper subscription, and a packet of sunflower seeds. Atletico Madrid also stated they are awaiting Barcelona's response to prepare the transfer announcement.

Enrique Cerezo, Atletico Madrid president, humorously remarked that he 'likes' Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, suggesting a mutual interest in players between the clubs, but also implied that such a deal is unlikely. Cerezo quipped about the possibility in light of ongoing rumors connecting Atletico's Julian Alvarez with a move to Barcelona, despite his insistence that Alvarez is happy at Atletico and not going anywhere. The statement was made while discussing transfer speculations and the unlikely nature of both potential deals.
