Rather active since the start of the summer transfer window, after having recorded the arrivals of Ilkay Gündogan, Inigo Martinez or Oriol Romeu, FC Barcelona is active behind the scenes to maintain its forces in the presence. Nevertheless, Barça have not yet registered their new signings due to their complicated financial situation, which had already forced the club to present a viability plan to La Liga to ensure the arrival of Lionel Messi, who eventually left for the InterMiami.
In this situation, Barça decided to turn to its training center to bring quality to the workforce of Xavi Hernandez and thus highlight its young talents. Starting with the youngest of them to have discovered the professional world last season, Lamine Yamal (15 years old). Revealed last season for his debut with the first team, his profile appeals to the Catalan technician, who is considering him to complete the wings next season.
Two extensions announced this summer?
In this sense, the Spanish daily AS informs that the reigning Spanish champion is working behind the scenes to secure the future of his jewel. Despite several foreign requests to dislodge him from Catalonia, the entourage of the international Rojita U17 (10 caps, 8 goals) understands that the best solution for his development is to stay in Barcelona. His extension could even be formalized during the summer tour in the United States, just like his compatriot Alejandro Baldé.
Because yes, in addition to the native of Mataro, the Spanish media adds that the Blaugranas have started negotiations with the Spaniard with 5 capes to have him extend his contract until 2026, while at the same time Manchester City recently attempted a approach to secure his services. However, the 19-year-old is not inclined to leave Catalonia and should, unless there is a twist, play under Xavi next season. The formalization of the two signatures should take place once the summer preparation in the United States has been completed.
