Barcelona Prodigy Lamine Yamal Targeted by Real Madrid Amid Contract Talks

Real Madrid is closely monitoring Lamine Yamal, whom it wishes to have in its squad. But this wish may not materialize. And for good reason, FC Barcelona wants to "secure" its young talent. The Catalan club plans to offer a professional contract to the Moroccan striker when he turns 16 in July. He could sign a three-year contract, writes AS.

However, there is hope for Real Madrid. It could be helped by a powerful ally: Lamine’s father. He would be a staunch supporter of the "Merengues". At the invitation of the club president, Florentino Pérez, he went to watch two matches of the "whites", and was even seen wearing a Real Madrid jersey, inside the FC Barcelona training center, according to the Spanish sports daily.
