Watch: In-form La Liga striker admits dream of playing for Barcelona

In a video released, Racing Santander forward Yassir Zabiri has openly admitted his aspiration to play for the iconic Spanish club, Barcelona. The Moroccan striker revealed that he has been a fan of Barcelona since his childhood and that his family is also avid supporters of the La Liga champions. Growing up, Zabiri followed the club closely and admired players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Antoine Griezmann, whose playing style closely resembles his own as a left-footer.

Having joined Racing Santander on loan from Rennes in the summer, the 21-year-old has quickly established himself as a formidable attacking force. In five league matches so far this season, Zabiri has scored five goals, securing the second spot in the La Liga scoring charts behind Barcelona's captain, Raphinha. His impressive goal-scoring rate, averaging a goal every 56 minutes, has made him a crucial player for Racing Santander.

Although Barcelona has a strong presence in Morocco, there is no indication that Zabiri's future will involve him joining the Catalan giants. Once his loan period at Racing Santander concludes at the end of the season, Zabiri is expected to return to his parent club, Rennes, where he is contracted until 2029.
