The Premier League giant that tried to take Lamine Yamal from Barcelona

Lamine Yamal is without a doubt one of the great promises of today's sport. The 16-year-old footballer from FC Barcelona has been the big surprise of the current season. Yamal has been positioned as a starter in the first games of the campaign and has responded in an important way. The footballer could become the new big star of the club in the future and now, it is revealed that a giant Premier League club was interested in his services.

The young footballer has amazed all of Europe with his talent, but mainly with the great personality that he has shown in the first games. Lamine Yamal is a product of the club's youth academy, but for many, he has established himself as one of the most important talents in the team's affiliates, so FC Barcelona wants to be patient with the player and take him in the best possible way to avoid another case like that of Bojan or Ansu Fati.

According to Radio Marca, Pep Guardiola's team tempted the player and his entourage to join the 'Cityzen' project, an entity that years ago installed the same youth training model as La Masia, but the proposal was rejected by Lamine when instant, who wants to succeed as a Barcelona player. Apparently, Pep Guardiola follows the player very closely and is a faithful follower of his talent. For now, Yamal's future would be clear and it is to continue at the culé club for longer.

Was Barcelona upset with Manchester City?

As stated by Radio Marca, relations between Barça and Manchester City seriously deteriorated after this attempted negotiation. The English team did everything possible to 'steal' the 'jewel' of La Masia, intentions that did not sit well at all in Joan Laporta's offices. For this season, it is worth remembering that FC Barcelona was one of the clubs most interested in Bernardo Silva, an operation that did not finish taking place. As for other former citizens, Gundogan and Joao Cancelo have joined the team for this new season from Pep Guardiola's club.
