Former Real Madrid gem draws Barcelona attention after hinting at desire to play with Lamine Yamal | OneFootball

The young FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal continues to amaze the world with his talent and skills, and added another individual award to his already impressive collection as he won the Laureus World Sports Award for Breakthrough of the Year a few days ago.

Meanwhile, important footballing personalities also continue to highlight his impact, and one such individual who spoke highly of the teenager was the former Real Madrid midfielder Nico Paz, who is currently playing in Italy with Cesc Fabregas’ Como.

However, there might be an even more impactful link between him and Barcelona, as Fichajes reports that the Catalans are seriously considering his signing as a future investment and have accelerated informal contacts for this purpose.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been shining consistently since his move to the Serie A side last summer, and is standing out particularly for his technique, vision, and ability to create danger in the final phases of games.

Naturally, his good performances have not gone unnoticed by other big European clubs, as they see him as an ideal asset around which to build a long-term project.

Undoubtedly, Nico has found a good development ground at Como, but there is also no doubt that with the potential he has shown so far, he deserves to play at a side with greater ambitions.

And it does not get any bigger than Barcelona, as the Catalans are seeing his recent comments about Yamal, in which Paz expressed his desire to share the dressing room with the Spaniard, as a signal for them to initiate contacts and explore options for his signing.

For now, the Argentine is assessing his options before he decides on his next move in his career. But a move to the Catalan club would be highly dramatic, especially keeping in view his previous and current links with Real Madrid and the rivalry that these two clubs have.
