Barcelona are stepping up talks to secure Lamine Yamal to pro terms.
Yamal, the 15 year old forward considered a great jewel in Barca’s academy, despite receiving interest from other big sides, seems set to stay with the Catalans.
Sources from the club told EFE that “I’m sure he will stay, because he wants to play here.”
The player, born in Mataro with a Moroccan father and a mother from Ecuatorial Guinea, has the confidence of coach Xavi Hernandez, who has called him up recently to train with the first team while players were away at the World Cup.
Barcelona‘s challenge now is to tie him down with his first professional contract.
Yamal’s representative is former Barca player Ivan de la Pena, who has a good relationship with Barca directors, and also is the agent for Gavi and Eric Garcia.
