Lamine Yamal continues to be a topic of discussion this season. The FC Barcelona prospect has shined at the beginning of this season, and many already consider him to be Lionel Messi's heir apparent. The young forward impressed in the match against Villarreal, leaving all attendees astonished by his technical skills as a homegrown talent of Barça.

This exceptional quality has also piqued the interest of national teams like Morocco, who are eager to have the striker represent the Atlas Star Lions. According to MARCA, Morocco's coach Walid Regragui has reportedly met with the player to discuss his potential representation for the national team. However, conflicting rumors from Spain suggest a different scenario.

MARCA reports that Spain's manager, Luis de la Fuente, will announce his squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Georgia and Cyprus this Friday. It's worth noting that according to the Spanish newspaper, Yamal is on the preliminary list of potential selections and is very likely to be included in the final list.

A Historic Achievement

Moreover, Lamine Yamal is only 16 years old. If he is indeed called up, he would become the youngest player ever to be selected for the Spanish National Team. Additionally, Yamal already holds the record for being the youngest player to receive a call-up to Barcelona's senior team. This potential inclusion in the squad would mark a historic moment in his career.
