There is no doubt that Lamine Yamal is the biggest and most exciting name to have emerged from the FC Barcelona academy in the last few years. The young defender has made a place for himself in the first team at a very young age, and is currently one of the key players for Hansi Flick, despite only being 17 years old.
He was once again decisive for the Catalans in their last game, as he gave the assist for Dani Olmo’s opening goal of the match.
Meanwhile, his performances in the blue and garnet shirt are also attracting the attention of other big clubs across Europe. This is particularly notable from a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, which claims that even Real Madrid are trying their luck to incorporate the winger in their squad.
The report claims that the Merengues have been in contact with Yamal’s agent, Jorge Mendes, to ask him about his situation at Barcelona. The Portuguese agent has clearly told the Madrid club to forget about the La Masia graduate.
Meanwhile, Yamal himself ruled out a potential move to Real Madrid or any other club in Spain, as he appeared in a recent interview and made it clear that if he were ever to leave the Blaugrana club, he would join a side outside of Spain.
There is also a lot of interest in the youngster from outside Spain, as Paris Saint Germain are confident they can also land Yamal at Parc des Princes after having brought the likes of Neymar and Messi from Barcelona.
Similarly, Yamal is also enjoying a high degree of demand from the Premier League, as almost all the big clubs in England are willing to have him in their team. However, Liverpool and Manchester City are the two clubs that have shown the most interest in him lately.
Despite this strong interest from around Europe, one can hardly imagine Yamal playing in another team than Barcelona, as he has expressed his commitment and loyalty to the Blaugrana club several times in the last few months.
