Author of a superb start to the season with Barça, Lamine Yamal (16) would have chosen to play with Spain rather than Morocco.
The start of the season FC Barcelona is marked by the explosion of Lamine Yamal (16 years old), who just turned 16. In April, the Spanish prodigy became the youngest player in La Liga history to play a game, but he is already establishing himself as a starter on the right side of the Catalans’ attack.

His performance against Villarreal (4-3) on Sunday did not fail to impress La Liga observers, in particular thanks to his elimination capacity and his often very fair choices at his age. If he seems set to stay at Barça for the moment, he is already at the heart of a battle to afford it, and this concerns the Spanish and Moroccan selections, he who has both nationalities.
According to information from Sport this Monday, the multiple advances of Morocco would not have been enough to convince the 16-year-old player, who would feel great confidence on the part of Spain, it is for this reason that he would have chosen to represent La Roja, of which he should become the youngest player selected since Sport claims that Luis de la Fuente will call him up for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Georgia and Cyprus in September.
