Yassir Zabiri scored this Wednesday in the Barcelona 7-2 Racing match, closing the first six rounds of LaLiga with six goals in six games. The 21-year-old forward, on loan from Stade Rennais until June 2027, once again made it clear at Camp Nou that his professional goal is to play someday for the Blaugrana team. The Barcelona transfer market is not considering his incorporation at the moment.

Yassir Zabiri fulfills his first dream with Barcelona

Zabiri took to the field in the 59th minute and took six minutes to score. He pressed Wojciech Szczesny, capitalized on the goalkeeper's mistake, and scored the 4-2 for Racing, although Barcelona ended up winning 7-2.

The goal had a special meaning for Zabiri as it was his first match at Camp Nou. Before the game, he had already publicly expressed his desire to wear the Barcelona shirt someday, an aspiration he has held since childhood and reiterated around the match with a post on his 'Snapchat' account.

The forward had already arrived in Barcelona with five goals in five games. He had scored a hat-trick against Elche and a brace against Alavés, before adding another goal at the Blaugrana stadium.

His offensive production also has a noteworthy factor: Zabiri has six goals in 311 minutes, without scoring any from penalty kicks. His average reaches 1.74 goals per 90 minutes, according to data collected by FotMob.

Racing enjoys Zabiri, but Rennes retains control

Racing brought in Zabiri on July 30, 2026, through a one-season loan from Rennes. The deal does not include a purchase option, so the French club retains control over his future after his first experience in LaLiga.

Rennes signed the Moroccan from Famalicão in February 2026 and tied him to 2029. The operation cost around 10 million euros after Zabiri impressed with Morocco U-20s and ended that World Cup as the Silver Ball.

The current available market value varies across platforms. Flashscore places it at 8.6 million euros, while FotMob calculates a transfer value of 1.2 million euros, with a maximum estimate of 1.9 million euros in July. These are platform estimations and do not equate to a clause or a price set by Rennes.

Morocco also accelerates its international leap

Zabiri's evolution at Racing has already opened another door for him. Morocco has included him in the senior call-up announced on September 17, following his six goals in the first six LaLiga rounds.

The next step will come during the international break, with Morocco preparing for their matches against Gabon and Lesotho in the 2027 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, along with a friendly against Ghana. After that, Zabiri will need to return to Racing to continue a loan that ends in June 2027.

Currently, there is no confirmed deal between Barcelona and Zabiri. His contractual bond remains with Rennes, and his present is with Racing, but his six goals, his debut with Morocco, and his performance at Camp Nou place Yassir Zabiri on the radar of a market that will assess his development throughout the season.
